document.execCommand...

[frenchtaquito]

Doesn anyone know what the command is( or if there is one) to assign to a button that would do the same thing as right clicking & using the save picture as command?
Example - document.execCommand("SaveAs&quot but "save picture as" instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

hey, we've discussin this subject, lemme help u..

here u are:
quote:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IE supports
document.execCommand('SaveAs')
to save the current page. It looks as if you can also open a page with
an image in it and then call the command on the image page:

function saveImageAs (imgOrURL) {
if (typeof imgOrURL == 'object')
imgOrURL = imgOrURL.src;
window.win = open (imgOrURL);
setTimeout('win.document.execCommand("SaveAs&quot', 500);
}
<A HREF=&quot;javascript: void (0)&quot;
ONCLICK=&quot;saveImageAs(document.images.anImage); return false&quot;
>save image</A>
<IMG NAME=&quot;anImage&quot; SRC=&quot;whatever.gif&quot;>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
