[thelist] Initiating a Download

Hi...

I would like to create a link on my site to a .gif or .jpeg file that
doesn't open the file in a browser window. I would like it instead to
initiate a download that will present the user with a "save as" dialog and
save the .gif or .jpeg to their local machine.

Is there a way to do this with PHP? JavaScript? I know I've seen it done,
but I don't know how to do it.

Any help would be appreciated,

Jake Aust
