I've been checking all over the place for an answer to this one but no luck.
I want a button or link that will open the "Save As" dialog box. Simple?
I know I can open the image in a new window/tab (as I'm doing now) and then use the right-click, save as method but as the people using this are not the sharpest knives in the box, so I want to make the download as simple as possible.
The code at the moment is:
<button class="downloadButton" type="submit" onClick="window.open('<%=(rsContent.Fields.Item("ContentImage").Value)%>')">Download Image</button>
but this loads the image into a new window/new tab.
Just for the record, the users are using Windows XP with Internet Explorer 8 so we can't use the download HTML5 event.
I don't mind if its JavaScript, JQuery or classic ASP.
Thanks in advance for the help.

UPDATE
Using the MDN code Lankymart posted, I tried as-is and it worked (for the open/download of an Excel document), however, I tried changing parts to download images and it didn't work.
Here is the Classic ASP code:
<%
Dim rsImage__imageID
rsImage__imageID = "1"
If (Request.QueryString("imageID") <> "") Then
rsImage__imageID = Request.QueryString("imageID")
End If
%>
<%
Dim rsImage
Dim rsImage_cmd
Dim rsImage_numRows
Set rsImage_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
rsImage_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_ENG_STRING
rsImage_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT ContentID, ContentImage, DisplayImage FROM tblContent WHERE ContentImage = ?"
rsImage_cmd.Prepared = true
rsImage_cmd.Parameters.Append rsImage_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 5, 1, -1, rsImage__imageID) ' adDouble
Set rsImage = rsImage_cmd.Execute
rsImage_numRows = 0
%>
and the (badly) altered MDN code:
<%
'Set the content type to the specific type that you are sending.
Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG"
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Dim strImageFile
strImageFile = (rsImage.Fields.Item("ContentImage").Value) 'This is the path and name of the file on disk.
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile strImageFile
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
%>
I call it using:
<button class="downloadButton" type="submit" onClick="window.location.href='image-download.asp?imageID=<%=(rsContent.Fields.Item("ContentID").Value)%>';">Download Image</button>
The error it produces is:
The image “http://localhost:85/admin/english/image-download.…p?imageID=5” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.
The page code is:

- Can't mark as duplicate - JavaScript: Prompting user to save file using a 'Save-as' dialog? but you should look at this question. – user692942 Commented Mar 24, 2014 at 14:23
- Since my ment I've added an answer as you might not be able to do it with javascript, but you can kinda "fake" it with a image processing page. – user692942 Commented Mar 24, 2014 at 15:07
- Now that you've shown the code you have tried what error do you get? Could you also include that? – user692942 Commented Mar 26, 2014 at 13:06

From your very generic error it is unclear where your code is failing
cannot be displayed because it contains errorsis not going to help you debug your issue. Do you have your500-100.aspsetup for handling500.100 Internal Server Errorsin IIS?, without it no errors you receive will be meaningful. – user692942 Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 12:48

Reset to default 1You can create a button that point to a link returning the image as a file and it will show the save option automatically instead of navigate to another page.
On the server side, specify the mime type as application/octect-stream
Update - Related to ments in the question
You may also find you need to include
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", LenB(yourbinary))
To stop some browsers from failing to validate the payload. Also it's important the the ContentType matches what is sent if you are unsure use
Response.Content = "application/octet-stream"
There is no way to initiate the Save As Dialog from the browser via javascript but you can fake the browser into displaying the Save As dialog by setting the attachment value in the Content-Disposition HTTP header.
The way I've tackled this is use a ASP page to generate the image (via COM ponent, ADODB.Stream, database blob etc) that way you can use;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=myimage.jpg")
This will force the image to be saved rather than displayed inline. So with a script like this you can pass one querystring value to it to display inline (when viewing the image) and one to force it as an attachment which will force the Save As dialog (browser behaviour may be slightly different).
Streaming to the Browser
Using the
ADODB.Streamobject to output files to the browser.
- Return an image using ASP, not .NET (StackOverflow)
- How To Use the ADODB.Stream Object to Send Binary Files to the Browser through ASP (Microsoft Support).
In the past I've initiated the Save As dialog using javascript (but there is nothing stopping you using a HTML anchor tag to do the same thing without any javascript);
/*
passing myimageid is a way of identifying the image to return
be it a database or file system lookup.
*/
window.location.href = "/myimage.asp?id=myimageid&display=attachment";
Because the response es back as an attachment the location is never actually changed and the Save As dialog is displayed immediately with the name of the file passed from the Content-Disposition HTTP header in the file name box.
