FrontPage - make a .html file available for download

J

James Tcheng

I would like to allow a user to download a .html file from
a FrontPage web. Right now when a user clicks on the
hyperlink to the file, IE starts and the file is displayed
as a standard .html file. Is there a way to force
the "Open, Save, Cancel" etc. dialog to open instead
(i.e., the same behavior that occurs when one clicks on
a .doc or .xls file)? Thanks in advance. James Tcheng

No. You would have to zip the file or give it a extension that a browser is
not set to handle by default.

You are aware that the browser HAS downloaded the file it's displaying,
don't you? You can even save it if you like via your browser (File|Save As).

Or stick a note by it that says "To download, Right-Click the link and choose Save Target As..."
