Re: Detecting completion of Download

I am actually suprised that Microsoft has not built in that
functionality.

Are you also surprised that no other browser maker has that functionality
built in either?

Thanks for the confirmation...

That is what I thought, but wanted to double check. I am actually
suprised that Microsoft has not built in that functionality. I can't
think of a reason as to why there would be any security concerns. I
know that we don't want to provide the ability to automatically
imitate a user click or anything, but don't see a reason as to why we
couldn't atleast find out the status of a download, ex. Has the
download started, did the download end. Just that basic information
would be so helpful.

Thanks again for the responses.

Hi blackpowder,

I agree with Randy. As far as I know, from Javascript, we cannot get the
download box. In this case, we cannot detect the completion of download.
