Hyperlink to non-HTML

[SAOK]

I have a hyperlink (relative address) in the main page of a frameset. The link is from a gif to a tiff with the target as main.

The point is to allow the viewere to click the gif and download the tiff (for publishing purposes), not view the tiff.

When the viewer clicks the gif, they get an empty graphic symbol in the main frame, not the download dialog.

I thought creating a link to a non-HTML file always downloaded to file, not tried to display it.

Any help?

Not always. Contact your hosting provider and ask for a FTP folder. Then put the tiff file in it. The link will look something like:
FTP://domain.com/images/image.tiff

You could ZIP it and then put the link to it.
