How do I force download of an image instead of allowing someone to view it?
I want to have images available of cars so people can download them. When I link to the .jpg files, it just goes to the image and does not popup a download dialogue box. How do I force it to popup a download dialogue box?

I don't really think that is possible... why do you want to do that?

If you are using PHP, try something like this: http://www.php.net/header#AEN41926 ( the description for the code is in the paragraph right above where this link takes you)

I came up with a fantastic solution the other day...redirect them to a download page, that has the following embedded in it:
<iframe src="http://mysite.com/myfile.zip" width="0" height="0" visibility="0"></iframe>That way you can have a good looking download page, with a download forced...ahahahha i love it
