For example, if you've installed the Excel application on your system, then you've probably also got the Excel addon the lets the browser display XLS files directly, rather than downloading the file. If the browser doesn't have any addon to support a given file type, then it falls back to download/save the file.
You can force the download handling using HTML5 link syntax (if your browser supports it) <a href="..." download="somename.ext">click to download</a> When the link is clicked, the URL in the href="..." will be downloaded, using the specified "somename.ext" as the target name on your local filesystem. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
