Is there a way to force a file to be saved instead of using the "default action". In my situation, I've got a series of MP3 files that are being used by my chorus as a learning tool for learning the current music quickly. I have instructions on the site telling them to save the files to their hard drives and to play them from there.
However, people are just clicking on the links and their default MP3 players are trying to play the files. Now, I have compressed the files pretty hard because some were griping about the filesizes, so if they are played right off the link, the quality is a bit choppy. If they save it to their hard drive and play it there, it sounds fine.
Is there a way I can force a Save As dialog? I have a page with a bunch of files listed for download. Unfortunately, these files attempt to open directly in the browser. I need a way to force a Save As.
My main page shows a table to which a user can add data to by clicking on a button, this in turn loads up a pop up window where the data to be entered is typed. Once the data is submitted the popup window is closed via Close button, but the table on the main IE page only shows the updated information if the refresh button is clicked.
All i want to know is, is there a way of forcing refresh of the main page when the close button in the popup window is clicked. Code used for the close button:
I need to find a way to force all the asp code on a web page to load regardless if the user hits the reload or stop button on the browser. I am seeing where more and more users are doing this and it is causing me some problems on some pages. I would guess there is a way to do this I am just searching for the wrong thing?
how would i for a browser to download a file (specifically mpgs) i can get it to go for small 4mb files, but the larger ones if they do go, take bout 15 mins to even begin the download.

Every time my page loads in IE6 the navigation reloads. How do I stop this happening? It works fine in FireFox.
I do have <% response.expires = -1 %> at the top of my page. Would this affect the navigation graphics as well?Can I force a user's browser to cache the nav?
Just curious: is there a bit of ASP code you can place in the top of a document that will force all root relative image and file paths in the HTML of this doc to expand to include the full URL?
I doubt it, but before I did it manually, I thought I'd ask. We use a template of sorts, but need one document to use the full URL, and it would better to just have it that way in the one document and not the entire template.
I'm trying to force a file download using ASP but not getting very far... I want the browser to send .pdf files to the user rather than trying to open them within IE (or wotever browser). Does anyone know what code I should use for this?
I need to make it so that I can download a .WMV video file. because giving users the direct link doesn't work and I think its alot better than asking them to right click and save item as..
The below code forces a prompt to the user to open or save the .pdf file file to their local machine. It seems to work great except I have one user who can not open any .pdfs using this prompting method. He gets an error that says "File could not be found". However, if we choose the 'save' option instead, we can save the file to his local machine. He can open .pdf files from normal links to .pdf files. It's just this prompting method that is causing a problem. So, I'm perplexed.
I did some digging and found that there is also an FSO (File System Object) method (which may or may not solve my problem), but I'm not sure how to impliment the FSO or if that will even help me with this.
How do i force a user to download from a hyperlink as adobe pdf file, it loads up in a new window and I need them to download it, or at least give them the choice to download it.
We have a web application that prompts the user to accept an ActiveX control (in this case, a report creation control) and then continues. If the first time the user gets this prompt, they accidentally decline to accept, they have no way to force it to load later. Any suggestions on how we can force this prompts again?
I have a server that hosts a few intranet sites. The one that all my coworkers have their Home Page set for causes their browser to authenticate, which is all good.
The one i'm working on now requires Anonymous Access in order to work, but the authentication from the first one is carrying over to the other. Can I use WWW-Authenticate to force anonymous access isntead of using it to force NTLM, Basic, etc?
is there a function in ASP that can force a database result to automatically wrap at say.. 25 characters in length? Reason for this is because I have a database and people could go in and put a message like
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"
and when it is displayed on the site it will make the layout all messed up.
I have a page that does a postback using ASP.NET and VB.NET. Basically, there is a form item that changes the settings on the page and it is near the bottom of the page. If you change it, the page has to refresh to display the changes to the page, but when it does, the refresh causes the page to be displayed at the TOP of the page.
Is there a way to force the page to either A: scroll to the bottom or B: (even better) scroll to a certain focus point on the page by giving the name of a control or something?
I have 2 .ascx files and one .htm file. One of the .ascx files is basically just a table with four rows. One of the rows has table for the other .ascx file, which is the menu, and the .htm file, which is the body content. Code:

I'm writing a math quiz. Every time the page loads, random problems are generated. The student enters the answers in text fields. They submit the form and the answers are checked.
if they were to press the back button, the same page will be there, and the student can fix the wrong answers. Is there an elegant way to force the page to refresh when the student presses the back button?
How do I force the page to refresh when the user hits the back button on the browser? I have an 'add' record form and I have inserted code so that it will not duplicate if the user submits the form several times.
however I just discovered that if the user goes forward then back and submits again it will create a new record. I want it to display the 'page expired' message.

I need some help/pointers here. I maintain an ASP/MSSQL e-commerce site.
I need to force the use of HTTPS for private/payment data and force back HTTP on other pages. Some googling taught me the use of checking Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS"). Though GET data/QueryStrings are passed all my POST data is lost because of the REdirect. Code:
I am programming a page that displays scientific data retrieved from a data source to an asp-web page and i would like to force all number to be formatted/displayed in scientific notation no matter what the value is. (i.e. x = 123 would be displayed as x = 1.23e+02). The standard function "formatnumeric(x[,n])" does not seem to be able to do this for me or at least I don't know how to use it that way.
I have a registration page where people sign up for different tennis leagues. However after they're done, they change their minds and use the back key to backup a page and either add or change their selections which ofcourse messes up registrations completely since it was written to the database already. BIG FAT COLORED letters do not prevent them from doing this, neither do they read any instructions. (Which I probably should know by now....) I need to prevent them from doing this by expiring the pages. Both these sites are using asp pages, but the one site is linking to an MS SQL database and the other to an Access.
I would like to have an option for my end users to do a SAVE AS. Is there a way to do this? I have a excel spreadsheet which is being created by asp and at the end of the page I would like to have an option to do a save as. so they can name the file and put the file anywhere they want.
Working with an asp page which pages through dates. If the user saves one page as a mht file and pages to the next day and saves the second page as a mht file, both files turn out to be the same. It's as if I.E. 6 saves the cached information, however if you open a new window and save the page from that window it saves properly and the cached information is available for the second window so I think I'm on the wrong track.
