Topic: Download link

ok so i have this download script and when ppl click on the link for a download it will open a small window that says "downloading please wait" and in the code i have

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2, URL=http://www.justgizzmo.com/site/<?echo$row['url']?>'>

and the refresh just refreshes back to the same page, and the download window dont pop up in IE but will in opera. i have a <A href> link on the page, and that works bue the meta refresh dont work. any ideax how to fix this IE problem

Re: Download link

perhaps some new settings in ie since SP2 that doesn't allow refresh?

(on a sidenote, eew, I really don't like that squished php wink , <?php echo $row['url']; ?> is IMHO much prettier wink)

Re: Download link

Your meta tag is incorrectly formatted. Try

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://www.justgizzmo.com/site/<?php echo $row['url'] ?>">
