associating save link with button

[Larry Martell]

Not really a django question but I'm hoping someone can help me here.

I have a django app but the html is not displayed in a browser -
render_to_string is called and the html is returned in a response to
custom app that displays the page. On the page I have a button that
sends a request back to the server. When I click the button in the
page within the custom app app the request is sent, but the app does
not wait for the reply. However if I right click on the button and
select "Save link ...' then the app does wait for the reply and it all
works as I want.

Is there some way I can associate the "Save link ...' action with the
button so that clicking on it will function the same as when right
click save link is selected?

Please paste code.

I figured this out. I just had to add 'download' to the <a> tag:

<a href="{% url 'core.reports.views.download' the_controller.app.name
the_controller.get_name %}?report_id={{ encounters.0.report_id }}"
class="btn btn-primary" download>Export</a>

Great Larry.

Good luck.
