schilly Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 you want to look into ajax. edit: actually that probably won't work. I'm not sure if you can do that unless you use an iframe maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Andrews Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think you can do that with .Net using Internet Explorer on a Windows system. Sorry for all the swearing! It's not possible with PHP or any other server side language that doesn't use OS dependent functionality to interact with the browser. When you start a download it is the browser that handles the operation. Because .Net can use activeX to communicate with IE you get greater OS/Browser functionality allowing such things as background downloading. You also lose all the benefits of using Open Source software! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
