hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a list of html pages kind of a contence page, however when a user clicks on one of the html page link i want a 'save target as' directory box to open.
I know this currently works if your linking to a .zip file, is it possible to prompt this kind of reaction via script? e.g. document.savas.filename

Any ideas?
Can anyone help me out?

Many Thanks

SIuk

Hi,

Ok, here goes:

<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page title</title>
</head>

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

// Windows Only
// IE Only
// Does not work within Frames (not tested)
// VALUES: intOLEcmd has these possible values
// OLECMDID_OPEN = 1
// OLECMDID_NEW = 2 warning, this kills IE windows!
// OLECMDID_SAVE = 3
// OLECMDID_SAVEAS = 4
// OLECMDID_SAVECOPYAS = 5 note: does nothing in IE
// OLECMDID_PRINT = 6 note: give '-1' as param - no prompt!
// OLECMDID_PRINTPREVIEW = 7
// OLECMDID_PAGESETUP = 8
// Others have no use in IE

function ieExecWB( intOLEcmd, intOLEparam )
{
// Create OLE Object
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID=&quot;WebBrowser1&quot; WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0
CLASSID=&quot;CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2&quot;></OBJECT>';

// Place Object on page
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);

// if intOLEparam is not defined, set it
if ( ( ! intOLEparam ) || ( intOLEparam < -1 ) || ( intOLEparam > 1 ) )

// THIS IS THE NUMBER YOU MUST CHANGE!!!!!!!!
intOLEparam = 4;

WebBrowser1.ExecWB( intOLEcmd, intOLEparam );
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = &quot;&quot;;
}

</script>
<script>
function saveAsMe (filename)
{
document.execCommand('SaveAs',null,filename)
}
</script>
<body>
<a href=&quot;javascript:saveAsMe('Yourfilename.txt');&quot;>hello</a>
</body>
</html>


Hope this helps somehow!
