    Note that so long as the .extension of the file is one not associated with an application/program on the user's computer, the Open here, download, ... pop-up box query should present itself when the link/URL is clicked.

    I'd imagine there is some sort of code that would force that query box to display regardless of the .extension, and I may have seen it but the hades if I can remember it or find it on my computer.

    If you can modify how mime-types are handled on the server, you can force a download for a given file extension, I believe.

    Yes, you forge a header -

    Code:
    Content-type: octet-stream
    Buts its not reliable at all, 99 times out of a hundred its easier to ask the user to right-click and choose 'save target as..'
