Re: Minor problem with 'save destination as' for code. (works)

This already "works for me" in both cases in "both browsers". More specifically, one is FireFox 3.0.3 on Win32 (which exposes "Save Target As" not "Save Destination As" in the context menu). So you may have at least two options: Get a Real™ browser (IE) or Get a Real™ operating system (Win32). ;)

Firefox 3.0.3 win32, here also. I got "Save Link As", and on first click, it asked to save as Download.htm. Then I opened a new tab, and Ctrl+S prompts to save as 718069.pl. If subsequently I try "Save Link As", this time I get 718069.pl. Weird I know. Seems to only happen the very first time, so to test, re-start firefox, and first Download Code link will try to save as Download.htm.	[reply]

Oops, it is "Save Link As" in FireFox (it is "Save Target As" in IE). Seems to only happen the very first time It only sometimes happens the first time for each link. It probably happens the first time if PerlMonks takes too long to respond. - tye	[reply]

Funnily enough, I am on FF 3.0.3 under Win32!! The "Save Target As" issue is really a matter of my context menu being in Italian and me wanting to write it in a reasonably international way: I thought that the entry would be called "Save Destination As" but it is really "Salva destinazione con nome" for me. I cannot exactly confirm Anonymonk's analysis, but indeed the behaviour seems not to be well defined: I tried several times on several different nodes now, and as you say, it works! But I'm sure I have not dreamt of it wanting it to save it to `[download].htm` yesterday and many other times in the past. Mystery? `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
