html - File opens instead of downloading in internet explorer in a href link - 


<a href="path/to/file/filename.xxx" download="filename.xxx">filename</a>'

when click link, filename.xxx should downloaded.

it works in chrome. in internet explorer, opens file instead of downloading. problem? there properties added make work in ie.

and need file download sample works browsers.

the download attribute not supported in ie (see http://caniuse.com/#search=download%20attribute).

that suggests download attribute supported firefox, chrome, opera , latest version of blackberry's browser.

for other browsers you'll need use more traditional methods force download. server side code necessary set appropriate content-type , content-disposition header tell (or trick depending on point of view) browser download item. headers should this:

content-type: application/octet-stream content-disposition: attachment;filename=\"filename.xxx\"

(thanks antyrat copy , paste of headers)

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
