for a file download to be forced, you are going to have to send headers
before the file is sent out. you will need ASP or PHP. taken from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/msword'); //or application/vnd.ms-excel
// It will be called downloaded.doc
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.doc"');
// The PDF source is in original.doc
readfile('original.doc');
?>
this will allow the file to be opened as an option.
