So I have a website I'm working where you click a link and you can download a pdf file.
The thing is I can't figure out how to do that. I tried using a href = "#" download = "my-pdf-file" but that didn't work and I also tried a download = "my-pdf-file" but that didn't work I tried replacing my-pdf-file with the path to it but it wouldn't work cause the file exists only on my pc.
Upload a file on google drive or mediafire, and set code up like:
<a href="item link here" download>Text here</a>
To download from link mention
download
attribute
<a href="LINK_TO_DOWNLOAD" download>Download</a>

I want users to be able to download an image from my website by clicking a download button
<a href="../assets/assets/styleguide/Consult.jpg" download>
<button class="btn draw-border">Download</button>
</a>
The filepath is correct, and the download is triggered as I get the usual download popup. Instead of giving the option to download as a .jpg, it asks if I want to download 'Consult.jpg' which is in the .html file type, despite having the .jpg extension.
Anyone know why this is happening, or better yet, how to fix it?
Thanks,
Will
Try again by putting the link inside the button tag and give the download attribute the desired name
I would like to download an HTML file, let's say test1.pdf. Here's what I have right now:
<a href="https://-----/test1.pdf" download>download </a>
How can I make it so that it can download as test2.pdf?
You can suggest a filename for the browser to use when saving the file in the value of the download attribute.
download
Try something like this. The download load attribute specify its a download and not a link.

<a href="/images/myw3schoolsimage.jpg" download="w3logo">
download
That's all you have to do.
As I have searched, making a download link is like
<a href="image_url.png" download>download</a>
But the image must be in project directory. How to download from another server?
For example if I want to download django logo the code is supposed to be:
<a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/s/img/logo-django.42234b631760.svg" download>download</a>
but that's not working (it opens and shows the image in the current tab instead of downloading), but any file in my own server is being downloaded easily. What is the best way to do that? tnx
You simply need to put name of the file (how it should be saved) in download. Like this:
download
Edit:
Actually I was wrong. You can find the answer here. If you want to download SVG in regular way, like any other file, you need to use JavaScript, not just plain HTML tags. Or you can download it as PNG, but as I assume: that's not the point.
Sorry for mistake.
you put link in href on anchor tag:
download
I have a problem: I want to download a file from my website using this link:
<a href="/path/to/file" download>Attachment</a>
But when i click this URL the link gets changed to:
localhost:9000/path/to/file
That means that my firefox does not find the file and cant download it, is there any fix for this?
use the full path in the href of a tag.
like this.
<a href="https://www.google.co.in/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png" download='download'>Click Here to download</a>
hmm Have you tried forcing the download as such:
Save GIF
If this does not help, it most certantly means that your path is wrong. Are you forcing the real filesystem path?
echo realpath(dirname(__FILE__));
I'm using HTML web and i want, that users could download a file like .vbs (skype bot) and then i use code like this:
<a href='skypebot.vbs' target='_blank'>download</a>
I get just only that file text. How can i make it download link not uploading it to other site like zippyshare?
How can i make it download link not uploading it to other site like
zippyshare?
You can use a data link. Put the contents of your file (encoded with encodeURI() ) in the link itself:
<a href='data:application/octet-stream,encodeURI(hereContentsGoes)' target='_blank'>download</a>
The file is probably being recognized as a vbs type by your browser, and trying to display it.
Easiest solution is to zip or tar the file and have that be the downloadable file.
<a href='skypebot.zip' target='_blank'>download</a>
