force a "Save file"-box to be opened when clicking on a link

[droplet]

I have a problem.

I want a "Save file"-box to pop up automaticly when clicking on a link no matter what kind of file.
If the file is a text-file or html-file i don't want it to open in the browser, but be saved by client.
Any one who knows how to force a "Save file"-box to be opened please tell me how to do..

Thanx
Anna-Sara

You need to use Server side programming to send out the following header :

header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.html");
