Download an image instead of opening it in new tab - html

I am trying to download an image on click and using "download" attribute of HTML5 for this. But it is redirecting the user to a new tab instead of downloading the image.
Click to Download
How can I sort out this issue?

I tried to change the path from the href attribute to download and it worked Click to Download

a href target blank sometimes stucks on about:blank

I am trying to open a google docs link in a new tab on browser like:
Google Sheet
But sometimes link does not open and stucks on about:blank page. But if I press refresh button, the link opens. What can be the problem and how can I fix it?
I tried on Chrome, Opera and Yandex browsers. All of them acts the same.
Dont use the url=
Or download the file and put it in your folder. Then set the href to open or download your pdf. Would this be a sol?

is it possible to make an hyperlink to only download a pdf file?

I have an hyperlink to a pdf form that can not be opened by the browser's pdf viewer. If clicked, the browser tries to show it but I get the error message like "it is necessary Acrobat Reader 8.x" etc. Is there a way to force an hyperlink to such pdf form file to only allow its downloading? In this way, the user could open it with his local Adobe Reader.
Let’s say you have a PDF that you want to let people download. The file will be like this:
Download Receipt
In most browsers, clicking on the link will open the file directly in the browser.
But, if you add the download attribute to the link, it will tell the browser to download the file instead.
<a href="/path/to/your/receipt.pdf" download>Download Receipt</a>
The download attribute works in all modern browsers, including MS Edge, but not Internet Explorer.
In the latest versions of Chrome, you cannot download cross-origin files (they have to be hosted on the same domain).
To make the hyperlink to download the pdf file when clicked, you should use download property inside the anchor tag. For example you can see the code below:
Download the pdf file
You can also give your own name to the downloadable pdf file in the download property that I provided as 'Document' in the code above.
Yes, it is possible. First download the file and then you'll see a link when it downloaded(it disappears quite quickly) just copy it and use:
hyperlink

How to download file using anchor tag <a>

Why is this not working:
download.html
download
The jsplogin.jar file is in the same folder has the download.html file.
when I click the download link the file jsplogin.jar should download
but its trying to open the file in the browser.
when I right clicked on the link and selected "save link" nothing is happening.
In HTML5, in most browsers you can add a 'download' attribute to the a element.
for example:
<a href="http://www.example.com/index.html" download>Download</a>
Based on this question. How can I create download link in html?
Use the "download" attribute:
<a href="jsplogin.jar" download>download</a>
The download attribute didn't work for me, but this did:
Download
The opens a new tab but downloads the file and closes the tab once it realizes it's not a file type it should render. In my case it was a .csv, I did not test with .jar but i imagine you'd get the same result.

Controlling the 'Save Link as' option in browsers

I have a website with MP3 files in a page. There is an MP3 player built using HTML5. My users are able to play the songs without any problem but they are also able to download the MP3 files by using 'Save Link as' option from the browser. (Right click on MP3 'Save Link as').
I was thinking it is not possible to hide "Save Link As" until now when I ran into this page: http://www.codebasehero.com/files/music-player-1.0.1/demo/
This page has a similar player like mine (no flash). If I right click on the MP3 link, the 'Save Link as' option doesn't appear. Does anyone know how they managed to hide "Save Link as"?
Simple: the "links" on the site you mentioned are not links at all, they're <span> elements. There's probably some JavaScript to make they play the songs when clicked. If you check their "buy" links, those are actual links, and the browser will show the Save As option on right-click.
