Making a Link Default to "Save Target As" with Left Click

ha mo, Colin Fraser, ThomK,

The problem I see is that you are attempting to take control of a
browser function, and that is not always possible. However, a lot of 
information can be found here:

OK, it is the Dark Side and DHTML rather than pure Javascript, but they 
may suggest some other way of doing what you want.
You may want to try 
function saveFile (fname)
{
	document.execCommand('SaveAs',null,fname)
}
You can use a button 
<input type="button" value="Save" onClick="saveFile('thispage.htm');">
or text
<a href="javascript:null()" onClick="saveFile('thispage.htm');">Save
File</a>
This should work.
