Link Post: “Right click and save as” needs to go away
I agree with the concept but I disagree with the implementation. I think this problem is best solved using PHP's header function:
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '"');
This works for all browsers and doesn't require any additional javascript or conditional HTML (I always think it's a bad idea).
Hopefully we can use the download attribute in a couple years when the rest of the browsers get caught up.
