RE: [PHP-WIN] download file options

Check the HTML Source on the www.tucows.com download pages. I think what they do is use Javascript to pop open a download stream on the "thanks for downloading" page's OnLoad property. -----Original Message----- From: David P. Schwartz [mailto:davids@desertigloo.com] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2000 12:19 To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] download file options I'm trying to come up with one single, consistent way of handling this so everybody has the same experience (rather than the often unpredicatable variations you get with links described above). Ideally, I'd like to implement something similar to what ZD Net provides on their library downloads: there's a DOWNLOAD button you click, and then you get a page (with some meaningless drivel on it) and a note somewhere that says, "If the file doesn't start downloading relatively soon, click _here_ to try again". All the books I've seen discuss uploading files, but not stuff like this. I'd appreciate any light you could shed on it! Finally, slightly unrelated, how would I get the download button to open a new browser page rather than replace the current one (ie., another instance of the browser)?
