I want to be able to do is to have a button that when the user clicks on it, it will open a "save as" dialog box so they can save a file (a separate file, not the html one that they are looking at) from my server. Is this really not possible using javascript, or am I just completely confused again?
View 3 RepliesI am using ASP.net and javascript. Presently I have a link on the web page, which opens an image....if the user wants to save it , he has to right click the image and then save it. But,I don't want the user to right-click and choose the option "Save Picture As" or "Save Image" of the browser. Instead I want the user to click a link or button that is displayed just under the image. After clicking the link/button, the user should be able to save the image in his/her local hard disk/machine in a particular folder or just under C: or bringing up the file directory dialog box where the user can save in his/her own folder.

$('body').load('/download.php');
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody have a Download Dialog written in JavaScripts? This is for a website. I've seen it done before.... where you click on what you want and the dialog comes up asking you if you want to save it. From what I can tell, the name of the file is passed as a parameter of the JavaScript.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wish to give the user the ability to download a file. The variable "url" is set to the url of a file on the server. I want to give the user the ability to either open it (if known type) or save it.
The following works for documents such as MS Word, but not for images (jpg, etc):
window.open(url,'Download');
Any suggestions how to not just create a new window for images, but give the choice whether to save it or view it?
We're creating a file sharing area in our intranet. When a user clicks
on a link they can save the file to their computer. When the file is
done downloading and the 'File Download' dialog closes I want to update
the database to flag that file as checked out. Because we don't want
anyone else to download it until the file has been re-uploaded.
Does anyone know how I can know when the dialog closes? It would also
be good to know if the user clicked Cancel instead of Save.
I have a confirmation page, we would like to have a SAVE button option for our customer to save the page, is it possible to SAVE only the message or page, not for the entire site?
if you have done it before, can you please help...thanks so much in advance. Or please give some suggestions how can we save the confirmaiton message page
making a save as dialog appear in firefox?
IE was easy, just using this code:
java script:document.execCommand('SaveAs','1','test.txt')
What I'm trying to do is have a 'Save As' dialog box pop up when I click an anchor tag.What's hidden in the anchor tag is base64 information, so my anchors look like this:
<a href=# src='data:application/octet-stream;base64, (base64 string)'>file name</a>
So when I click on this, it gives me the option of downloading my base64 info just fine, but the problem is, the name of it looks to be just the entire base64 string. I was wondering if there was a way I could set this name? I can get the file name, so I'd love to just put 'blah.jpg' as the name that the user downloads.The reason I'm asking is because when I download the file, it comes out as (random characters).bin.part, and if I know the download is a pdf, I try opening it with a pdf viewer, but get yelled at by the MIME type... however, if I simply change '.bin.part' to '.pdf', I can open the file just fine, so I'd love for an automatic naming system, but not sure how to implement that.I've tried the document.execCommand('saveAs', '1', '<filename here>'), but I think this is for an actual file that you serve from the server... I don't have the actual file, just the base64.
i would like to disable the "save as dialog box" on some certain areas of our corporate website.
Such that everytime a user trys to download certain files, it disables it.
Is this possible and how do i go about it?
anyway in Javascript to program a link so that it opens a 'save dialog' box - in the same way as you can use JS to open a print dialogue box?

I am distributing some files on CD. Among other files i have
download.htm and
DataFile.txt
When download.htm file executes, it shoud set the path to the download file as the path for my data file and then opens the save as dialog box when user can then select storage location.
i can use some thing like
window.document.execCommand("SaveAs",true,"YourDataFile.txt");
window.close();
Here Save as dialog appears but how i can tie the box with the file on the CD?
Also execCommand is native to IE, How can i use this same in Netscape?

I am working with a activeX widget that has a method that produces an image which is saved to a users local machine. All the method requires is the path on the local machine. I need to obtain this path (hopefully utilizing a "save as" file dialog) and store its value to a variable so I can pass it to the method. It does work with an input type="file" but they are branded for file uploads an dit is a little misleading and confusing for the user.
example:
var path = $("#saveAsDialog").val();
activeXObj.saveScreenshot(path);
I do not know much about javascript, so please excuse me if my question is
not clear:
If I build a string in Javascript
string = "http://test_server_a.some_domain.org"+download_trial_of_product.exe
Then use
document.location.href=string
It works in Firefox, the popup box says,. would you like to download this
file... and the download is what its supposed to be. However, it does not
work well in IE. All I get is a nasty pop-up box talking about downloading
an Object. What am I doing wrong?
