oh, yeah, i only have it on the website so i can get some feedback. it's meant to be given on a cd.
i've noticed that some places take images on cds don't review work on the web (for whatever reason).
this kind of format gives you some of the functionality and organization of a website, but in a package you can hand to someone or mail to them.
Tim, what's the typo? i hope it isn't too embarassing ... i handed copies to a few galleries yesterday.
Almost anytime you specify a specific open-able file in a URL the browser will attempt to open it - it's what they do. Your best best is, as Darwin suggests, taking them to a page and asking them to right-click to download. Unfortunately your intended audience WILL NOT read those instructions and will just click, so I've found that compressing the files (zip, etc) will force a download. You can also get some nice workarounds if you're using a web application platform such as .ASP, .PHP or ColdFusion, but that's likely to be more work than most people want to undertake.
