Terry;

I did not want to mention "The Browser Experience"! :)

>I vote play guitar. Maintain them muscles. Web site development can be done anytime and you don't have to train for it!
>
>I have been fooling around with Adobe's Audition and playing with some mix and process ideas (when I can).
>
>On the HREF issue - it works - but I learned about a little difference in the way firefox implents the download as opposed to IE.
>
>I tested locally with a text file that had an EXE extension. Both IE and FF forwarded to a filesave dialog.
>
>When I tested on the DNS, FF opened the dialog, but IE [just] printed the contents of bogus "EXE" text file. So I uploaded a real exe and IE gave the save dialog.
>
>Moral: FF judges the file type by name extension. IE does something more. IE, on the DNS, knew the EXE file was really a text file.

>>The TablEdit file extension is .tef, and you can create music notation, tabs or both. You can play back in midi format, adjust the speed and do all sorts of neat things.

>>My web site began with JPS, who was bought out by One Main.com, who was bought by Earthlink. Then I went to AT&T wideband, which was bought out by Comcast. Yuck!
>>
>>The URL is just what I have to use as given to me by Comcast. I keep thinking about having my own domain and then I could have videos on my site. As it is I just have time to play guitar and do not spend much time working on my web site.

>>>Thanks Thomas,
>>>Of the few people I know, most are working musicians. Bistro's and Coffe Shops to 5th Ward blues bars and Jazz Venues. All kinds of music - but the Guitarists (I play an hour or two (electric) in the back of the house every night looking for a melody that will compel spirits to dance for me:-), all love Flamenco - I do to. Flamenco is what they listen to at home. Thanks for the link - I will pass it around.
>>>
>>>Are the tef files charts. Are they finger position charts or scores.On the A HREF - I am going to ftp the pages with the change to my "web site".
>>>
>>>If you want to see whats there, go to:
>>>http://www.r6solutions.com/ic.htm
>>>
>>>On the left panel there is a download link with a test ftp script. Right click and view the source. Beware (and dont laugh)- the site is under construction.
>>>
>>>I noticed that your site is a "home" site from your provider. I wonder if there is any difference between a "home" and a DNS?
>>>
>>>Whats the tilde for in your URL?
>>>
>>>>Terry;
>>>>
>>>>When you (the user) click on the A link you will get a dialogue box which will ask you to Save, etc. Then you choose the folder.
>>>>
>>>>For kicks here is my flamenco guitar web site. You can download all kinds of flamenco related items.

>>>>>Thanks Thomas,

>>>>>Ideally it would be nice if clicking the link would download and offer the the user to install the program. If it cannot be done at this stage, it would be nice if at least a save file dialog popped up (like they do on real internet sites).
>>>>>
>>>>>The hope hope is that a browser landing on my site wants to download and and evaluate my program (VFP InstallShield SETUP.EXE).
>>>>>
>>>>>But your example is simple - I like simple - I go to try it now.

>>>>>>>Hello,
>>>>>>>I need to insert a link on a HTMP page that will download an evaluation prohram to the user's desktop.

>>>>>>>My Web site vendor does not have an "anonymous" ftp feature so I could do something like this:

<HREF ftp://www.myserserver.com/mydownload.exe>

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Microsoft offered something that seemed helpful because it included a user and password:
>>>>>>>

ftp://myName:MyPassWord/MyServer.com

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>I liked that one - but do not know if it will work (and it does not have a download file "space")
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>HOWEVER, my website does include ASP ,gdforms.asp/ gdforms.php, (whatever those are). and I saw some asp script that seemed to fit the bill.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>The script could be imbedded in html and had functs like "aspGemMyFile", etc.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Could some share some script or a link to some script samples that I could use to allow users to download a SETUP.EXE from my "private"Web Site. If ASP is required, no problem.
