Controling the 'name' of a file download

Question

function openPDFWordTwo(thisObj,pdfURL){
//For Opening Word
formTitleId = thisObj.id.substr(0,thisObj.id.lastIndexOf(':')) + ":hiddenFormTitle";
formTitle = document.getElementById(formTitleId).value;
window.location = pdfURL;
   return false;Here is my code that opens the popup window for my page to download a word document by JavaScript. Right now it downloads the correct file but names it servername.doc. I would like to change it to formTitle.doc. Is there a way I could do that through code or is it server style?
I was looking at HTTP responses but I haven't figured out exactly how they work yet. Any good tutorials?
Cheers

Answer 1

I realize this, I googled read about it but all the examples I have found completely redo the process, html uploading the file etc. I have no idea what you're talking about. HTML is just a markup language. With regard to file uploading it only provides you a <form> and a <input type="file"> to represent a file chooser and with regard to file downloading it only provides you an <a> element to represent a download link or a <form> and <button> element to represent a download button. It has completely no capabilities to process a file upload or download. It is the server side code which does that, Java/JSP/Servlet for example.
My question was if there is a way to keep my html keep the way the file is accessed and changing the name.My answer was under each: if you want to try this with JavaScript, please realize that JavaScript != Java. With other words, you're here at a Java forum at the wrong place. At any way, I don't see why you insist to do this in JavaScript. It's a client side scripting language.
