download file

[Lowest of the Low]

I have a problem in that on my website I have files that can be downloaded
and I have used html similar to this example:
< a href="code.zip">Download now</a>

In IE this works fine no problems and on my local machine i.e. not over the
web Netscape also offers to download the file but once I try and use
Netscape to download from my actual website it seems to open a new html page
and procedes to display the binary information which comes out as chinese
characters.

There must be a simple solution to this but I can't find it can anybody
help?

Does this problem appear only in your Netscape version?!
-> You played with your MIME options in Netscape
and now Netscape thinks your *.zip isn't a zip...
Reinstall Netscape to fix it....

No it's not just my Netscape it's also Opera and Mozllia, basically any
browser other than IE.

I've not changed any settings as I specifically installed the various
browsers to try and ensure no problems cross browser.

Any other ideas?

I use an input button with the code as follows

<INPUT type="button" value=" Get IT Now " onclick="window.open('your.exe')">
