"save as" option

[robmog]

I have uploaded several files to my website that can be accessed by
hyperlinks from a particular page. This all works fine for the smaller image
files. When you select the link the file opens in the browser and the can be
saved in the normal ways. However, with the bigger video (mpeg) files, they
try to download and open in either media palyer or quicktime, making the
difficult to save. Ideally I would like to be able to right click the
hyperlink and select "save as" as the dowmload option. How do I do this.

That already is a right click option: Save Target As

That's what I expected to happen. However, when I right click the link the
"save target as" option is not there. Is it possibly because I created the
hyperlink by using a hotspot around a piece of text rather than converting
the text directly to a hyperlink?
Thanks

That would appear to be the answer. I removed the hotspots and converted the
text directly to a hyperlink and the "save target as" option returned. Any
explanations as to why this should be the case, it is a minor irritation as I
wanted to preserve the text font and colour I was using.
