I have a link to a PDF on my site. I would like the page to enable another button at the end of your download.

But the question is: this is possible only with javascript/jquery?

If yes, how would it work?

javascript jquery

  • I only see the option to download by AJAX, your action can be executed after successful completion of the request, that answer shows how to download. Downside: not all browser versions support this solution

  • See this [answer](http://http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1106377/detect-when-browser-receives-file-download "Title"), can help you...

Uses the jquery plugin named fileDownload, example usage:

//
//With jquery.fileDownload.js
//custom use with promises
//
$(document).on("click", "a.fileDownloadPromise", function () {
    $.fileDownload($(this).prop('href'))
        .done(function () { alert('File download a success!'); })
        .fail(function () { alert('File download failed!'); });

    return false; //this is critical to stop the click event which will trigger a normal file download
});
