Thanks, Rolf, you are right. That is under browser settings control. Somehow I have set mine to just ask "open or download" but not where to download. In any case, that's in the client side, so I will count on it.
The issue is, as Bob mentioned, that the file data is sent to the server (jsmol.php) and then comes back as a download offer. I was not fully aware of this -- but I should have been. On the other hand, part of my confusion comes from the Java applet modality, which indeed asks for the folder in a "browsing folders" dialog. I think there in no server involvement there since java can do the trick. In both cases, security mandates that the user decides whether to download/save and controls the location. And my findings suggest that the "?" trick is useless here, as there must always be a user decision. I guess the ? is only good for the Jmol application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
