Hi, I'm trying to modify a code I found in order to cause a hyperlink on my
page to Hi, I'm trying to modify a code I found in order to cause a
hyperlink on my
page to save the doc file instead of opening it.

The page is at http://www.geocities.com/ruleone01
Fileto saveas:http://www.geocities.com/ruleone01/bos.doc

Please help? It has other onload events, so they'll need to combine.
Here's the code I found to do a saveas in javascript.

save-as prompt download to
Step 1.: The Script
-------------------
Insert the following script in the head of the page:

<script language="JavaScript">

// Source: CodeFoot.com
// Please leave in this header.

var isReady = false;
function doSaveAs(){
if (document.execCommand){
if (isReady){document.execCommand("SaveAs");}
}else{alert('Feature available only in Internet Exlorer 4.0

and later.');
}
}

</script>

Step 2.: The Body Tag Interlock
-------------------------------

Include the following onload event call in the body tag.

This stops
the script from functioning until the page is fully loaded.

<body onload="isReady=true">

Step 3.: The Link
-----------------

To call the script from the page and activate the SaveAs

dialog,
insert a link in the page like this:

<a href="javascript:doSaveAs()">
Click Here To Save This Page
</a>
