Link in popup form doesn't work

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo Bruce!

I have a link where I download a PDF file.
In a browse works when I open the Browse but not when I press next page. (I need to reload the page)
In a popup form it doesn't work at all. The popup form will not open.
This is the example link: <a href="#" download>test download link</a>

Console said: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
xHTML safe/unsafe was checked. I put also the code on XHTML tab.

What could be the reason?

Thank you!
Robert

Hi Robert,

>> Console said: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

yep - so the HTML is not well formed XML.

>> I put also the code on XHTML tab.

what code did you put on there?

cheers

a "normal" link :-)

Code: [Select]

<a href="#" download>test download link</a>

<a href="#" download>test download link</a>

This is not valid because the word "download" inside the <a is not right. Did you perhaps mean to have;

<a href="#download">test download link</a>

?

Cheers

Hallo Bruce!

Check this: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_download.asp
"download" is an attribute to <a> tag.

Hi Robert,

in xml each attribute must have a value. So this is not valid xHTML. To make it valid change it to


<a href="#" download="download">test download link</a>

cheers

didn't know that... next time I will check also for xHTML.

<a href="#" download="download">test download link</a>
Works just perfect!

Thank you!
