How to make all file types downloadable  en

Author: John S.

When using the download object from INCOMEDIA not all file types are included. And you have to pay for the widget.

If you want a button or a text that functions on ALL file types, I have created some examples. The examples is tested to function in : Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

The page is here : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/brm09/side-7.html

The examples show examples with buttons, animated buttons, text and a combination.

Should be very easy to style for your own needs.

The code is purely html. It can be clipped directly into your own html-object - BEWARE if you use the code, then  you have to specify a download-file on your own domain when you test it on your own site.

Using this way, you can avoid to use zip-files. Not all users that want to download a file, know how to treat such files.

Kind regards

In your text object, insert an image, highlight it and select the link button, then select "file or url" to the file you want to download. (see sample.)
