Hyperlinks and File Download box

H

Husker_Alumna95

I have an inline frame in my webpage. This frame has a hyperlink which, when
clicked, it prompts the user for a file download box before opening the link.

My question has 2 parts:
1. is there anyway that the link (from inside the inline frame) opens
automatically as soon as I get to the page?
2. is there anyway that I can avoid having the file download box appear?
like with a script or something like that?

Thanks for any help!

What type of file is linked ? if it is anything other than normal html then the
download box will always come up.

e.g. if it is a PDF, it will attempt to open in the reader, otherwise user will
be prompted to download the file.

Can you give the URL please?

Probably, with a JavaScript triggered by the onload event. But WindowsXP
SP2 will block the download, since it was triggered automatically, and not
by the user clicking a link.

No. This is a security thing that cannot be overridden. The last thing any
user will want is some unknown file automatically downloading without
warning! Who knows (other than you) what this file is going to do?
