Creating a download window for jpegs

[iburgess]

I am a newbie to this forum, I have just started developing my website, and hit a major snag in one of the areas I really need.

I need to enable large size jpeg images (6+Mb) to be downloaded from my site. Currently, even though I have the jpeg stored on the site, when I link to it via:

href="http://home.iprimus.com.au/iburgess/Ozimages/myJpeg.jpg"
f I link to an .exe or .zip file, it works fine. but for a .jpg, IE loads up on the screen as a bitmap.

How do I create a download window for jpeg files.

Thanks

Option-clicking on a link to the jpg would do it. Or right-click and "Save This Link To Disk".
But the best solution would be a large thumbnail and a zipped .jpg.

Thanks for the reply

Tried the zipped jpeg - for some reason - probably my poor phone lines - zipped jpegs seem to fail with an error - something about invalid count or something. I tried loading it twice - same error. The jpeg unzips on my drive - but not when uploaded and downloaded fron the net. It takes about 20 minutes to load. (I really need an ISDN line or similar)

As I sometime deal with clients that are not so computer literate, asking them to right click and save link soemtimes tests their ability. If I don't make it dead simple, they won't buy from me.

Put the link up to your page that has all the images and where you tried to test it, and we can test it for you if you want.
