I want the ability to have a "Download" on the web page that will in essence "Save the target as" - or download the picture to the user's PC.

I have the word Download linked to the picture. When you click on it - the picture is displayed in the browser. I am not given a window asking to save or open.

Any ideas?

Thanks
 

As far as I know, you cannot control the action that happens whrn you click on a link - at least not to the degree that you want.

Your best bet would probably be to have a small footnote to explain to users how to right-click and save the image. If you do do this, you need to take into account different instructions for different browsers.

Hope this helps,

Dan
