Hey all,
I generate normal links like: <a href="/path/to/image"><img src="/path/to/image" /></a>
in a web app.
When I click on the link, it displays the picture in a new page. If you want to save the picture, then you need to right click on it and select "save as"
I don't want this behaviour, I would like to have a download box popping out when I click on the link, is that possible just with html or javascript? How?
If not I guess I would have to write a download.php scrit and call it into the href with the file name as parameter...?
Greetings! :)
