Dreamweaver 4 question

[blurredvision]

How do I set up a file to be downloaded to a remote computer in Dreamweaver 4?? I just want to put the link on my website, and when it's clicked on, it will download the corresponding movie attached to it. Thanks.

Just create a regular hyperlink to that file. When it is clicked and the file type is not recognized to be something that can opened by the browser (.html, .jpg, .gif, etc.), then the user will be prompted to save the file to disk or open it from the location (effectively saving it to temp. files). Alternatively, the user can right-click the link and choose Save As...

Yup,

The other thing is to imbed/embed (whichever is the right word) the video into a predetermined popup window (a little Javascript action)...

But as Ladi has pointed out, the corresponding person has to have the right app on their machine to view the vid anyway.

Good luck, Dreamweaver 4 is good stuff!

also, it might be a good idea to zip the files. this will make them smaller in size. much more appealing to someone with a phone line connection.

happy webmaking!
