So I have a httpd server running which has links to a bunch of files. Lets say the user selects three files from a file list to download and they're located at:
mysite.com/file1
mysite.com/file2
mysite.com/file3
When they click the download button I want them to download these three files from the links above.
My download button looks something like:
var downloadButton = new Ext.Button({
text: "Download",
handler: function(){
//download the three files here
}
});
The best way to do this is to have your files zipped and link to that:
The other solution can be found here: How to make a link open multiple pages when clicked
Which states the following:
HTML:
<a href="#" class="yourlink">Download</a>
JS:
$('a.yourlink').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
window.open('mysite.com/file1');
window.open('mysite.com/file2');
window.open('mysite.com/file3');
});
Having said this, I would still go with zipping the file, as this implementation requires JavaScript and can also sometimes be blocked as popups.
