I am creating a simple HTML Website on my laptop.
So I created a simple HTML Mark up like this:
<img src="Will Logo.png" alt="Logo">
<a href="Will Logo.png" download>Download Image</a>
When I click the link, it doesn't download the Image, it opens it in a new window.
I have tried it on Edge, Chrome and Firefox, and the result is the same-- the Image doesn't download. It simply opens up in a new window.
Is there some settings that I need to enable, for this HTML5 download attribute to work?
2.) When I reference this discussion from this same W3C Forum (
The person said "This might not work on the computer's local filesystem due to security restrictions in some browsers because of the same-origin policy which usually excludes the local filesystem."
Is it because I am trying to download within my Laptop, and that is why it is not working?
Does it treat the file from within my laptop as a "same origin policy that excludes my local file system"? Is this the problem?
Regards.
