Answer» I have File.mp3 on my webspace and would like to make a clickable link that automaticaly brings popup to download instead of just playing the file...
Thanks in adv.You will have to upload the mp3 file to another website and link it to your myspace.
For my files, I use File UpYours
For example, I would upload the mp3 file and then create the links. Once that is done, you just post the link on the website.yea... the file is here already. but when you click the link it wants to play it in the browser....
I thought there was a way to link it so it would download to save other than right click the link and "save as"
edit: ehh... cant get the html to work here but its not the standard link I'm having PROBLEMS with.... When I click on the link it doesn't give the option to download but OPENS a new page and starts playing the clip in Quicktime...All you have to do is type: http://incolor.inetnebr.com/levib/audio/New_song.MP3
or
Code: [Select][url=http://incolor.inetnebr.com/levib/audio/New_song.MP3]Song[/url]Song when I click that link it just plays it for me... is there a way to make a link to download it not play?
edit: I know this is because Quicktime and many other programs default to play which make it confusing for people that might visit my page. KINDA hard to explain "ohh just right click save as blah blah blah"
I thought there was another code but I dont realy know html just from years back before there was this kind of problemHmmm....I'm not very sure.
When I click it, FIREFOX asks me if I want to download it. It might be your browser settings, I'm not sure. Can't you right click and save-as?lmao!!! hehe, yes I can right click and "save as" I just need a sure fire way that when "someone else" clicks the link they WONT have the same dificulties since most browsers by default open .mp3 files not downloadLol, I'm sure they would know to Right Click and Save As...Unfortunatly I cannot assume that everyone is as computer literate as I am so I would like to make it as user friendly as possible..
btw, thanks for the help :p What I'm looking for is a link with a "Forced Download" if possible.Forced Download? I'm not sure if that's possible...... If I were you, I would just tell them that they have to right click and save as if they are having trouble downloading.Hi. I find this post interesting, then it comes to my mind to try the things that you guys said, but it confuses me. Guys will you explain it a little bit clearer. so next time when i try doing this again ill surely get it right. Thanks.. If you have a question, create a new post.
