Using iWeb, how can I insert a hyperlink so a visitor can download a video or audio file? When I choose "File" under the hyperlink settings and click it on the published site, it just takes the user to a blank page where it plays in Quicktime in the browser. I want it to actually download on to the user's computer. How is this accomplished?

Thanks.
 
If you insert a quick time video in iweb you can decide to display the controls under the QT tab of the inspector. With that checked your viewers should be able to download the file.

I tried that; but these are only hyperlinks so there is not a Quicktime movie box (in iWeb).

If it is a hyperlink to someone else's video you don't have the right to give it away. That is how it should be.
