When a user clicks a "download now" button on my website I want to
redirect them to another webpage saying the download has begun and at
the same start the download of the EXE. Currently, I am using the
following code to do this but this fails to work consistently on IE
and Firefox. On some occassions the EXE download will not commence
although the redirect will always work. I need to get this to work on
IE 5.5 and above as well as the current version of Firefox. Here is my
current code:
<html>
<body>
<img src="images/header/header_left.jpg" width="396" height="100" />
<a href="javascript:download()"><img
src="images/header/header_download.gif" width="370" height="100"
border="0" /></a>
<div id="links">
<iframe id="frameDummy" src="" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"
scrolling="no" style="position:relative;">
content-holder
</iframe>
<iframe id="frameDownload" src="" width="0" height="0"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:relative;">
content-holder
</iframe>
</div>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function download(){
window.document.getElementById("frameDummy").src="CaptureClicks.asp";
window.document.getElementById("frameDownload").src='http://www.mysite.com/Download.EXE';
window.document.location.href='ThankYouForDownlaoding.asp';
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html> |

hi why don't you use a free component like aspSmartUpload (http://www.aspsmart.com/aspSmartUpload/) which works very well ? it will permit you to make easier code : 1- when the users clicks, he's redirect to eg: download.asp?file=Download.EXE 2- this page contains the code from CaptureClicks.asp (stats), then send the file to the guy, and then redirects him to 'ThankYouForDownlaoding.asp'; all in one page. another way would be to send the file then redirect him to 'ThankYouForDownlaoding.asp' which contain the code for stats. i use this component on many websites ant it always worked like a charm last note : be careful on security with downloading files : avoid special chars in the filenames to prevent from downloading a system file : ../../../../windows/win.ini or an asp source file from your website !! ../download.asp it could be dangerous hope this helps Jul. |

Hi Jul, Thanks for your post. We are unable to use the aspSmartUpload as I only have ftp access to our web server and thus cannot register and COM DLL. It is a shared commercial web server. With regards to your other point of sending the file to the user then re-directing the user to another page, this is what I am doing. However it has intermittent problems on IE and FF. See the code snippet that I provided. If you have the java script that works, i.e. by starting the download then re-directing the user to another page, please send it to me. I?ll can test is on different versions of IE and firefox. Thanks. |

hi ;)
sorry , i didn't know for the dll :(
you can try that, but it's still not 100% sure :
last line of JS code :
setTimeout("window.document.location.href='ThankYouForDownloading.asp';",5000);
this will make the page change after 5 seconds. It should be enough
for the download to start...
just a little hack...
hope this helps...
