the link on this page:
http://www.adjustablesoftware.com/ASCDownload.htm
fired up my long lost ftp client (RhinoSoft) and began a download. I wasn't
required to put any info in the form fields.
it did this while throwing a page not found in the frame the form was in.
here's the code for your button:
<a href="http://www.adjustablesoftware.com/da216setup.exe">
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Download Digital Adjuster">
</a>
Here's the action for the form:
<FORM METHOD="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.exe/ASCDownload.htm" onSubmit=""
webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
I'd recommend you .zip this .exe and save yourself a lot of trouble.
I think the form action and the hyperlink you've wrapped it with is causing
the problem but putting .exe's on the web is asking for hassles. People
will feel better with a .zip. why not just have the form save (and require
the input) then email the file to them or email them a straight link to the
file?
