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:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
