Open/Save Dialogue Box, Remote Host
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 10:13 am
Hey everyone,
Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched but couldn't find anything. The issue i'm having is that we have a partner who serves downloadable images for us; users can click a link on our site and they will be presented the image to download. The partner serves it as a standard JPG, and therefore loads it directly into the browser; however, we need to issue a FILE/SAVE Dialogue box to the user. Unfortunately, we are not able to ask the partner to change anything from their side; what we've had to resort to doing was Saving the image to oursite and then popping up the File/Save Dialogue box. Unfortuneatly, this too is no longer an option due to the long wait times for our users and bandwidth issues. Is there ANY way we can directly link to the image on our partner's site and display the F/S Dialogue Box?
Thanks in advance,
