    Help needed from web design types

    Help please.

    I've just lauched a web site for a friend, built using Dreamweaver MX. So everything has been written using very basic html (except ye ole browser detect JS) - so please don't blind me with PHP etc gobbledegook.

    Anyhoo - I'm trying to create a link to an excell spredsheet (I want to upload) on the host's servers, that will be available for people to download.

    Any ideas that the html code is please?

    Would 'href' or similar do the do?

    Please help me. Joining the forum on webmonkey.com kinda scares me.

    just a stright link to the file will do, it will then give the persons browser the option to either save or open the file.

    <_a href="file"_>This is a file<_/_A_> or something, without the _'s of course

    I would make the excel spreadsheet a .pdf and have it for download rather than the excel file?

    Hmmmm... What about saving the excel as the html table and just inserting it into the website? Will make the data available to those of us without excel installation.

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    If you just want them to download (not view) it, just .zip the file, then use the code Weasel gave
    winzip is free if you havent already got it
    We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.
