OK. I know this is basic and I am totally blushing about this question but I am blonde if that is any justification. If I want to put a zip file on an HTML page for a beta tester how do I do it? I am using dreamweaver. Thanks in advance.

If you are using a plain old editor (like notepad) have the line look like this: href="filename.zip" The browsers are smart and know that if someone clicks on a zip or exe file that it should prompt to download. Makes it easy as then you only have to have the hyperlink. If someone has a problem - tell them to rightclick (in windows - don't know mac) and do "Save Target As". Good Luck

You mean <a href="http://www.mysite.com/filename.zip">Hyperlink Title For forums like these that allow html, you need to type "&.g.t" for < and "&.l.t" for > (minus the periods of course)

Hey Cruzan - the Mac equivalent of the right button is to click with the "Option" key held down.

Hmm... seems obvious, but don't forget to upload the zip file with the html file onto your webspace!
