Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd rather add a feature that changes the mime type so you're prompted to download. Would that be okay?

Kisk-ass! I mean yeah. That way we could choose that option from a checkbox too.

My way you'd have to submit the form, then have it give you a page with the GET URL on it, then click on the GET URL with the right combination of keys/other mouse buttons for your system.

I found some PHP code on Google Groups a while ago which promised to achieve the "prompt to download" effect on all browsers -- it apparently wasn't as easy as one might think.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds good, ita. Just voicing agreement with that change.

Hey all. There was some talk back in the day about having one of those little title bar icons. I just made one for my personal site, so while I was at it made a couple for Buffistas.org.

The hex code for the red might not match the rest of the site. I tried to do the fade, but my PhotoShop skills are nil. Also, in 16x16, it's kinda hard to see that sort of detail. I vote for the black one myself.

Instructions on how to add to the site: [link]

(It's just one line of code. And I have yet to figure out how the 32x32 fit in, but I'm sure the Buffista hive mind understands it all.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jengod, I don't think Geocities lets you link directly to images -- both of those links give me error messages.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For most people, it will work if you get rid of the "www" from the hyperlink.

Ooh, Dana is smart.

I like the red one.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I made one of those icon thingies two months ago and handed it over to ita. I suspect it got lost in the shuffle of low priority items. A gif version is here.

Pretty! I like Jon's!

So now what someone has to do is make it into an icon, a .ICO file, and put it at the top level of the webserver. You have to get a special windows icon editor to make the ICO file, or Irfanview can export in that format.
