I created a webpage that will act as an installer on a CD i created. I needed a solution that was compatable with both PC and Mac, and flash wasn't an immediate option. Basically, I created the CD to auto launch a html file that will allow users to access files located on the cd. It will prompt them to save the files locally (which we encourage), and then they could open the files that are password protected. My only problem, its not downloading the files off the CD for some reason. Its trying to open them directly in the browser. It seems to be happening a lot on Netscape 4 for mac, but it is important this cd be compatable with ALL configurations if possible. The files in particular happen to be stuffit files, however it was doing the same thing when I had the files in regular office format.
I guess what I am asking is .. how can i FORCE a webpage to download a file instead of opening them in the browser.
