Subject: href and download
> Hi All,
> I'm trying to create a page where users can download
> files from.
> What i have discovered was that if you have a certain
> file type associated to a certain program and there is
> an href to download that type of file, what will
> happen is that it will automatically open the file
> with the associated program.
> for example:
> if i have mp3's asssociated to winamp...if there is a
> link <a href="song.mp3">download song</a> and i click
> it, it will open my winamp player and start playing
> the song rather than popping up the save as window so
> that i can save the file.
> my questions are:
> Is this discovery correct? and is there a way to
> prevent it from opening the associated program but
> rather popping up the save as window?
> If anyone has any clue please let me know!
> thanks!
