Downloading Files

[simontheak]

I'm designing a portfolio site, and I want to set up a link to download my CV in Word format.

I thought that a getURL() command on the button would be enough, but unfortunately that opens the word document in a browser window.

What I really want to know is how I get a little box to pop up asking where the visitor wants to download the file to.

Any ideas?

try zipping the file up.
Otherwise I think you'll have the same problem that people have been having with downloading .pdf files....it all depends on the users browser settings, if it will open the file or download it.
