Is it possible to have a download link that downloads an image instead of opens a page?

Recommended Posts

I would like an image download to start in the background when a button is clicked, as is the norm. Instead squarespace opens a page, requiring an additional right-click step. I can't seem to find how to prevent this.

 

When using a link, you have the option of page, file,  etc. so I don't understand why when choosing a file, it opens a page regardless.

 

I am using a code block, but this seems to be the case whatever method i use, such as buttons, forms etc.

my current html code is:

<a href="/s/DM042_Wallpaper_Phone.jpg" download="jonpxl_wallpaper_DM042_phone" target="_blank" class="button">WALLPAPER</a>

You mean to trigger download when button click?
