I am trying to create a html simple website on IIS that will help downloading files.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
Start automatic download!
</body>
</html>
This is running file. On clicking "Start automatic download!" it is downloading newUpdater.xml in browser. But, If I directly give this download link in browser (below), it is opening the XML file in all browsers(chrome, firefox).
http://169.254.68.202/newUpdater.xml
Any Idea How to fix this. I think this is possible as
http://dl.google.com//googletalk//googletalk-setup.exe
this link on browser will start downloading gtlk directly.

According to the documentation and many posts, the tag
must save a file, however for me it just opens an image in a browser: chrome, firefox, safari.
download. Prompts the user to save the linked URL instead of navigating to it.
What should I do to force downloading to a drive, without JS?
Minimum working example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
download
</body>
</html>
This link might be helpful . From Chrome 65+ download tag is discontinued. It is accepted only when it is from the same origin.
Problem here is, It uses JS. So, It is not completely independent of JS.
I have an apache server that serves an html page with content similar to the following:
<html>
<head>
<link href="meta/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p><b><li>Welcome to download page</b></li>
</p>
<p>
file1.7z<br><br>
file2.7z
</p>
</body>
</html>
When I click on the file1.7z or file2.7z link, chrome starts downloading it a 7z file, but internet explorer and edge attempt to download it as html file. If I select all files in the save as dialog box and change extention to 7z, the downloaded file is a valid 7z file.
I have found out about the download attribute which will probably fix this for Edge, but it looks like Internet explorer and other browsers may not even support this.
Is there any apache server configuration I can set, or anything I can add to my html page's header, to force all browsers to download this as a 7z file?
#user13267 It sounds like you may need to add the MIME type: application/x-7z-compressed
I think you would need to do so on your server at this path:
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf
We are shipping some docu stuff on a cd and to have a better overview over all the files, we want to provide an index of all files as html, that can be put on the cd. The idea is that the user can download the wanted files just like from any webpage.
The problem is, that I can open the pdf in the browser but i want the download dialog to pop up if i click the button so I added the download="some-name.pdf".
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Demo</title>
<base href=".">
</head>
<body>
Download file
</body>
</html>
Using this via webserver (http) seems to work, but I cannot get it to work from the local file system...
To reproduce, just store the snipped in a file, create a folder "files" next to it and put any pdf file with an .html extension and name it test.pdf. Then open the page in a browser like Chrome or FireFox. (I am on a mac, but i guess it is the same for Windows or Linux?!)
Any help would be appreciated.
I need some help. I decided to create a home FTP server for my family. I hit a roadblock a few hours ago. When I was creating my home page, I wanted to test it in Chrome. I linked a css file to it aswell. I expected to see the test webpage, which was a h1 with the text hello. What actually happened was the fact that it downloaded my html file, and when I opened that in Chrome, I saw my page without the css. I've tried everything to speak of on this site and I even checked page 2 of Google. Here's my code, I'm running FTP on IIS 10.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Home</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</body>
</html>
As far as I know, chrome download the html page is right. Since you use chrome to access a ftp file, it is not a http connection to the server. The chrome will not directly show it.
If you want to show the html page in the browser, you should use IIS website instead of ftp site.
More details about how to create a IIS web site, you could refer to below article.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/help/323972/how-to-set-up-your-first-iis-web-site
i guess you are putting it in a wrong format
as https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp says
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
What is wrong with Chrome? I want to develop just a single html page. Without any server. Just one page. I know that I need web-server for using that page. But I need to just create a short simple html page with linked js and css files. And I can't do this, because chrome is too smart and I get the same error from chrome:
Not allowed to load local resource
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8' />
<title>ACAB</title>
<script type='text/javascript' src="./data_statistic.js"></script>
