I have a code set up to download a file on my FTP, but when I click on the link it tries to take me to the url and not download the file. What am I missing? I've tried every version of the HTML code and nothing works.
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Click here to download package</span>
Very simple, add the download attribute to it. Like this:
<a download href="/finaledit/murphy_drive.mp4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Click here to download package</span></a>

im using this command to download a file when I click on the download buttonenter code here
<a href="text.txt" download>download </a>
its working perfectly but when I go to for example website/text.txt it does not download automatically how can I make it do so?
I used the code:
<a download href="https://web.stanford.edu/group/csp/cs21/htmlcheatsheet.pdf"> Download cheetsheat</a>
but i wasn't able to make the link download the PDF. It opens the PDF instead.
The attribute is "download" but it is not working
Set the download attribute to the filename:
<a download="htmlcheatsheet.pdf" href="https://web.stanford.edu/group/csp/cs21/htmlcheatsheet.pdf"> Download cheetsheat</a>
I've made a website but the problem is when people is trying to download the file instead it opens the file not save as or download the file.
use <a href="./assets/file.rar" download>Download file</a>
The following code will make the user download the .doc file
Download
I want to create a link that will let user to download .html file
Any Ideas how to do it....???
You can add a download atributte to the <a> tag.
We'll get something like this:
<a href="file.html" download>Download</a>
Note: The download attribute IS NOT supported in Internet Explorer.In this case, it's better to zip the html file (add it into a .rar or a .zip, WinRAR can do this) and link it.
It'll be: Click me
I guess the easiest way to provide a .html file for download to a user would be to put it in a .zip or .rar format.
You can use the HTML5 Download attribute in the anchor tag.
Download attribute signifies that the resource it points to should be downloaded by the browser instead of navigating to it.
<a href="myfile.html" download> Download HTML file </a>
or, you can specify a name of the downloadable file by yourself
Download with specified name
Not all browsers support this HTML5 attribute, here is the detail of where it will work.
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.
