Chris is right.

But I feel that opening the downloadable images in a new window makes it easier for the visitors.

1) I modify custom.js line 13:

jQuery("a[href$='jpg'],a[href$='png'],a[href$='gif']").attr({rel: "prettyPhoto"});

becomes:

jQuery("a[href$='jpg'],a[href$='png'],a[href$='gif']").not("[target='_blank']").attr({rel: "prettyPhoto"});

2) I add target="_blank" on the downloadable images link

Hi there,

Even without the overlay, they would still have to right click and 'save as' to download the image.

Thanks!

Hello,

Is there a way I can have a link on a page that when clicked will download a file onto the users computer?
I tried doing the html code from this example... http://www.goldcoastwebdesigns.com/create-download-link.shtml
but it didn't work...the photo just load in the browser as an overlay.

I'd rather avoid having to ask the user to 'Please right click and choose Save File As..."
