Don't understand opening a file in your browser. It downloads a page.

hi, i don't understand what you mean.
i meant that i want my visitors to have two options: save the file or open it right away.
right now the file opens immediately.
thank's!

Re: trying to make a download

What kind of file is it? and it depends on the browser and its settings. If its a pdf or a doc file, some browsers will open it. If you want it to always be a download.. then ZIP it, and make two links.. one to open .. one to download.
