texte = Hi there,I want people to be able to download a PDF or other file, but the client wants to get some information from them first (eg name, email). At present, some of THEIR clients are linking directly to download files on their website and they want to stop this happening. If I used cookies to get them to enter details before coming to download page, they can still see an absolute link to the download from that page's HTML (assuming they're intent on being sneaky). Is their a way of hiding the HTML? (List archives are down at the moment so I couldn't check.) Or is there another way of doing it?A few weeks ago, I tried using [redirect] which worked but it renamed the file. Any help greatly appreciated.Regards, TimTim Robinson Art Director imagine online tim@imagine.com.au http://www.imagine.com.au------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
