Downloading forms

Is there a fairly easy way for me to upload an order form I've created in a word document, so someone viewing my web site can click on that form to save/download or open and print ?

RE: Downloading forms

Stephen,

Yep, this is really easy to do.

Firstly, I'd keep all your word documents in a separate folder (eg. /downloads, or even deeper).

Then all you do is upload the document (using Dreamweaver or another FTP program) and create a link to it in the way you would to a HTML file.

eg. <a href="/downloads/order_form.doc">Download order form</a>

When the visitor clicks the link, their browser prompts them to Open or Save the document.

Don't forget to test the link!
Hope this helps.
Let me know how you get on.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
