The downloads don't work here. I just get a file called dn.php (for
all three).

In reply to Comment 1 (Don Cox):
Use a browser supporting "Content-Disposition" HTML header or just rename the file to "[something].lha" and then save.

Wouldn't it be better to use links that work correctly on Amiga
browsers?

In reply to Comment 3 (Don Cox):
1. It would definitely. I'm working on this, may be working this night or early tomorrow morning it depends on number of cups of coffee ;-).
2. You must admit not supporting Content-Disposition is just a lazyness of Amiga browsers authors. I understand that supporting JS or CSS is a lot of work, but supporting this HTML header is just a hour of coding. And no, it is not another MS-extension.

FYI, IBrowse 2.3 (due for release in a few days) does support Content-Disposition :-)

In reply to Comment 5 (Oliver Roberts):
Anyway, renaming did the trick.

IMO the actual HTML that reaches the user should always be as low tech
and "old" as you can manage, and all the clever technology should be
on the server.

Amazon is a good example. I suspect that they lose hardly a single
customer because of browser problems.

In principle you always need to address the needs of the majority of users. But the fact remains that Amiga browser HTML support for even basic constructs is pathetic. Web navigation is the most fundamental application on any OS and something desperately needs to be done to address this issue.

Just for the record,

My version of IE 5.0(OS: win 2k)
actually crash royally when I click
the link. :)

It's the first time I've seen
this error... IE usually is very
stable.

In reply to Comment 6 (Don Cox):
Done. There are plain archive links in the table now, all the heavy magic is done
on the server. Direct links to archives (as found already on some news sites)
bump counters as well (this is why I've played with this nasty "Content-Disposition"
stuff). If someone is interested - now I just parse a custom Apache log to detect
downloads.

"In principle you always need to address the needs of the majority of

Adressing the majority is easy - you just write code that works on IE.
The trick is to make a site that works for the other 10% too, so as
not to lose a single customer.

"But the fact remains that Amiga browser HTML support for even

application on any OS and something desperately needs to be done to
address this issue."

Everyone knows the Amiga browsers are behind. If you have a few
hundred thousand dollars to spare, you can employ some programmers to
rectify this. As it is, we rely on dedicated volunteers for this and
other software.

This TT support software is a good example.

(I'm not sure that "web navigation is the most fundamental operation
on any OS" - I would have thought text editing came first, then
database management. The web didn't ev
