Load URL + JavaScript action

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to get my users to download "maps" from bungie.net from my website.

Example map:

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=31604914

Link users need to click to download map:

<a id="ctl00_mainContent_xboxDownloadButton" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$mainContent$xboxDownloadButton','')">Download to Halo 3</a>

When a user clicks this link the map is downloaded to the users Xbox 360.

---

Option 1:

I tried opening a hidden iframe then when the user clicks on a link JavaScript will load into my iframe. Thus downloading the map. The only problem is it doesn't work.

> <iframe name="download_frame"
> src="http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=1244"
> width="0px" height="0px"></iframe> <a
> href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$mainContent$xboxDownloadButton','')"
> target="download_frame">Download</a>

Option 2:

Is it possible to have a link with a src something like this...

URL + JavaScript

Option 3:

Any other suggestions of how to get users to download this map without having to go to this website would be great.

Answer 1

I don't know if this will work... it should be treated as pseudo-code as I'm not testing this as I go along but might help.

How about having a standard HTML page for use as an IFRAME, lets call it "dl.html"

Within dl.html have the following Javascript:

<script>
var file=location.has.replace('#','');
if (file) {
  var target='http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid='+file;
  location.href=target;
}
</script>

In your parent HTML page, have this:

<script>
  function downloadFile(id) {
    var f=document.createElement('iframe');
    f.setAttribute('id','whatever');
    f.style.border='0px';
    f.style.width='0px';
    f.style.height='0px';
    f.setAttribute('src','dl.html#'+id);
    fo = document.body.appendChild(f); 

  }
</script>
<a href="javascript:downloadFile('31604914')">Download to Halo 3</a>

Hope that helps, or fires some neurons...
