A Web User clicks on a HTTP download link in MS IE,
he chooses to save the file to disk,
then a Windows Directory/ Filename select
Dialog opens and asks the user to what directory/file the file should be written. We all know this.
The suggested filename is determined by the Webserver, but
suggested directory is always the directory where the user downloaded the last file to.
Is there a way for WEB page programmer,
to alter this suggested directory to an absolute full path?
c:\<websever not user determined directory>\
I heard a rumour that this is possible with Javascript.
It is not neccessary that the file is written without further confirmation or that the user cannot alter the destination.
I just want, that the full path is suggested.
