Closed (sort of)

TEOM as you know it has been closed. I will keep it up for reference but it no longer will receive tutorial updates.

There are plans for a completely new site. If you'd like to be notified once the other site is up, simply subscribe to my mailing list.

Thanks for the support throughout all these years :)

Linking to .zip Files

Linking to .zip Files tutorial preview.

A common question regarding .zip files on web pages is “how do I link to them?”.

The answer is quite simple: “link to them just like you would with your pages”.

<a href="index.html" title="My Site">My Site</a>

The code above is how you would normally link to the main page of your site.

<a href="file.zip" title="File Title">File Title</a>

The code above looks the same as the first one, except that the link points to a zipped file instead of a .html page.

As you have probably realized by now, the link code works with any file type you wish (i.e. PDFs, JPEGs, AVIs), which is a quick way for referring users to files that you want them to download to their local machine or view directly in the browser without the need of a HTML-based page holding everything together.
