Download Button Download File And Redirect To New Page
Apr 11, 2009
I need to have a submit input button automatically start a download when clicked, but also redirect to an additional "information" page. Since I'm not sure if this can simply be solved with HTML or must use some Javascript.
I am trying to create a way for my users to download some code dynamically from my web page via a file download. Below is the code that i have written so far. It seems to be dying on the iframe but i'm not sure why.
Here is my jquery trigger which is inside my onreadystate function.
I'm trying to allow people to download music files, from my web site server, to their desk top, by clicking a button. I don't know if I need html or some kind of script. The page already plays short music clips automaticly with a simple "onload" script I found somewhere--but I don't know how to get the viewer a copy of the music for their mp3 player or disk burner.
I tried redirecting in the onLoad event of the form but doesn't work. I suppose it redirects as soon as the activeX is loaded and not when it has finished its download.
The script below allows me to link to a file and as the user clicks to download, the 'File Download' windows appears as normal, and the user can download...
The original page is then redirected to a new page.. This works, but it also opens a blank page..
How can this be chaged to stop the blank page from opening... ?
I have a page /download.php.basically on entry this page displays a browser download dialog box for a file.I was wondering if there is a way to use .load() to get the same download dialog box on another page.I tried the code below but it does not work/ what jquery function I can use to get this working
I have files on the server: .txt, .xml, .config, and "no extension" - all editable with notepad.
User will write some input, it will be added to file in specific place.
I need an ability to change element value in file (in one of them - depends what user choose) (or it even can be some trigger word it-self like CHANGE_ME for not to use attributes)
Create a temporary copy of edited file and create a unique temporary link to it.
I don't know what to start from.... For now I know how to make XHR, but what to do with other extensions?
Have no idea how to save the NEW file (a copy of original file) on server , and create a UNIQUE link ,and delete the file right after it was downloaded.
I can find a specific word in xml file, but how to change it?[code]...
I'm using ASP.NET and setting window.location.href in my web page to output an audio file that the user is prompted to download. I would like to provide a link so that the user can download the audio file and an XML file one after the other. I've been experimenting with opening a new window, but there must be a cleaner way of doing this.
I need to download - randon size - parts of a file, not the whole file. Says: I have the zip file test.zip, it is 10 mega bytes long. But I don't want the 10 mega today. Today I want 5 mega bytes. Tomorrow I could want more 3 mega bytes of the file, but it is not sure, could be 4 mega bytes. I need to part the zip file in chunks at request. No CGI, no asp, no php. Only client side scripts.
i noticed today that if i type in my js file name in the url i get a download box, i have an htaccess on my site so this should not be happening, thats another issue.. my question is, is there a trick to creating a js file that cant be accessed in this manner, i was thinking about adding a php define statement as it comes from one source only, but i wanted to ask first to see if there was something on the js side i could do or is that strictly a htaccess or server side issue..
I'm wanting a message box to appear when a user clicks on a link that pops up a message. Once they click "OK' on the message box, a file download box pops up letting them open/save the file.
Basically a person clicks on a link for a class. A message box pops up saying "Please print and bring the following papers to class." When they click "OK", the *.pdf file pops up ready to be downloaded.
I know there got 1 function is fileUpload, the code is like this: <input type="file" name="filename" size="35"> After that will prompt out 1 dialog box to let user to select file to upload. *User must select 1 file to upload.
How about If I just want to browse the path? and I do not want to select a file but create a filename by myself?
Actually I just want to specify the path and filename so that later I can create 1 file by using the filename and create the file in that path.

I would like to download an ebook file with the extension .epub. If I use a regular link, I get an error message saying "page not found". I want to make an automatic saveas window comes up.
I would like to create in my site a picture that when a user clicks on it, a javascript code which determines which file is to be downloaded to the user, is ran.
My problem is that I do not know how to make the file that was chosen by the javascript code to be downloaded to the user.
I know how to do it statically (using anchor) what I'm looking for is how to do it dynamically.
Is there a way to get jQuery to download a js file in the background without parsing it? I have a CMS with a login form, which may take the user 3-5 seconds to fill in the data. I am thinking that if I can pre-load my js scripts which are used after the login page, then this will make things quicker after they login. Can this, and should this, be done?
i have a link to a dynamically generated report download. when you click the link it takes a while for the server to do the number crunching and return the file. i need to execute some JS on completion of the file download. is this even possible??
I am trying to make an xml file download from my website, so the saveAs window will be open, I checked the forum and found the following code. but instead of saving the xml file it saves the html file.
<html> <script type="text/javascript"> function forceSaveAs (filename){
[code]....
I also try to send the xml with the following header but with no success
I have a website which displays routes on a map. The data behind this is held in a MySQL database. What I want to do is to be able to click a button and the current route information would be download in a gpx file (xml variant) for that route, built from the database. I'm using shtml, Javascript and perl. Is it possible? The formatting of the data is not an issue. I am a real novice and have self taught enough to get where the site is today, so please be gentle.
I am trying to build a script, where the file references get added to an array when downloaded.
I have a slideshow so I want it the image references to be dynamically added to the javascript array. Any ideas how to do this? Is there an event which returns true when download complete
I am trying to trigger the download of a file from the browser (at the moment a word file!).
But when I supply the link as an '<a href='...'>' html tag the document appears in the browser. Although this is quite good I unfortunately need to open up the download dialog box.
I developped a SW for restaurants, pub, ecc... It's developped in php (and html, javascript, mysql) and runs by an Apache webserver (phpdev 4.2.3). The my system is not absolutely connected to the web.
It is a client-server system: in the server is installed Apache, while the clients are PCs where only a web browser (IE) is running, connected to the server via Wi-Fi.
I have the following problem: I want to show in the clients some videos (huge files); therefore I would kike to avoid to download them everytime from the server (in order to not overload the Wi-fi network). The client should call a php page from the server, but the video file should be downloaded from the own (client) HD.
The question is: Is it possible to open a file (in my case a video file) on the Local HD of the client PC by a javascript? Please consider that, if it could be a restriction problem on the client PC, I can change the configuration because it is not an internet application.
I have an array that is made and modified in a function. At the end of the function I want to have the array to be sent as a file to be downloaded to the user. How can I go about doing this?
I need to download and read one *.json file in my javascript. Do you know about some library or the best how to do that? The best would be be if the solution would work in all web-browsers.
I am trying to get started using JQuery, but I find I can't even get to lesson #1. When I go to jquery.com and click to download the latest version (or any version) it doesn't "download" anything. It opens the file as a webpage in my browser and I see all the JQuery in one big string. Why won't the file just download? Is it the browser I am using? Is it my Mac?
