<br />
f should be called on the onClick event handler for a button, etc.

Hi, Thanks for looking at my question!<br />
<br />
Does anyone know a simple script that allow the user to click a link or button with the left mouse that brings up the Download dialog box?<br />
<br />
Normally you have to right click and go to 'Save As'.<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
