Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Supprised no one picked up on what Ben posted.
Download is one attribute you just add to HTML so you do not need to do anything else.
Key note though is that different browsers do read this differently. If you have a dynamically generated file for example Chrome does have issue triggering this properly so it is recomended that rather than just adding "download" if you do come across issues to specify the file name download="myfile" as per the docs Ben kindly linked.

Less is more, this is defiantly less.

@Alok25195406pb2h,

It failed because the code I posted in 2018 was intended for the .htaccess file, not the HTML file. .htaccess is a server configuration file, not a web page.

Use @BenPleysier's answer above.
