Hi,
Return false from the function to stop de default action (opening the
file). Also you don't need to change the jQuery shortcut '$', just do
this, won't cause any conflicts:
(function($){
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.download').click(function() {
var link = $(this).attr('href');
$('.dialogBox').show().click(function(){
window.location.href = link; //or window.open
$(this).unbind('click');
});
return false;
});
})(jQuery);
