I used the code: 

<a download href="https://web.stanford.edu/group/csp/cs21/htmlcheatsheet.pdf"> Download cheetsheat</a>

but i wasn't able to make the link download the PDF. It opens the PDF instead.

The attribute is "download" but it is not working

  • Add more code in your question. What did you do? What did you expect? – mechnicov Feb 20 '19 at 20:32

Set the download attribute to the filename:

<a download="htmlcheatsheet.pdf" href="https://web.stanford.edu/group/csp/cs21/htmlcheatsheet.pdf"> Download cheetsheat</a>
