Dwain, Matt
Sorry forgot to mention I also getfilesize in php for reasons Dwain
mentioned and I have created simple functions like the one he
mentions, with a pool of file icons to display with. Sorry for not
mentioning these.

As Joe said, I also think icons are a great way for users to quickly
scan the page and get a sense of what is going on.
There is a nice article [1] that can show you how to automatically
style links with little icons depending on the extension of the file
it points to if you are interested.
Cheers,
Matt

Icons also help people make quick choices and allow you to
provide the
documents in a tabular format when required.
Title of This Lengthy Document [PDF ICON] title="download the PDF:
Title_of_This_Lengthy_Document" [MSWORD ICON]
title="download the Word Document:
Title_of_This_Lengthy_Document"
i also put the size of the document next to the link. this way
the visitor
know what's coming in the download or the view, because to view a
pdf it has
to be downloaded first and then opened and by notifying the
visitor of the
size of the document gives them another choice whether to
download, view or
by pass the document.
