Hi um new to html and I want to know the way to create a file save dialog box. It should not be a file open dialog box. is it possible to do in html ? I found these two components

 <input type="file" dialogtype="save" />

This creates a file upload dialog box though it mentioned the dialogtype as save

    what exactly are you trying to allow the user to save? Couldn't you just let them download the file by redirecting them to the file? – Gabriel Sadaka Oct 29 '13 at 05:04
  • thats because u have given input type as file,thats y it will open a file upload dialog box. – R R Oct 29 '13 at 05:05

If you want to make download link ( Allowing user to download file server ). You can <a> tag to give server path. So when user click on the link browser will ask user to save the file.

Ex: 

<a href="link/to/file.zip">Download</a>
