Re: Save Link as does not work for Microsoft Edge or Chrome, but Save Target as, works for IE

Microsoft Edge Not Working But Chrome Is Running

Url rewrite works perfectly in IE and edge but not working in firefox or chrome Answered RSS 4 replies Last post Oct 16, 2018 05:42 AM by friendof2005. Are you using any older version of MS Edge? I find that Edge 41.16299 has similar issue which is fixed in the latest updates. So I suggest you to install the latest update for your windows and check whether it helps to solve the issue or not. Microsoft Stream not working in Chrome Stream is simply not working in Chrome for me any longer. This worked for me as recently as the last week or 2 (not 100% when it stopped, I don't go there every day) and is working for my co-workers.

Hi Diana4,

I think my previous statement was not clear enough, which caused you confusion.

If the link is valid, you can save it as. A few examples （url Exact value）:

1.

Files under the local server. So I just need to set the url attribute like this:

In this case, you could click the hyperlink to download the file, or choose to save the link as, it can work in differenet broswes.

2. I obtained file download links (valid and accessible) from some sharing sites for testing purposes.

In this case, you could click the hyperlink to download the file, or choose to save the link as, it can work in differenet broswes.

3. Use invalid url attribute.

In this case, the problem you mentioned will occur. When you click on the hyperlink, you cannot download the file (because the link to the address is invalid), and the error message will be prompted in the broswer console. You cannot save the link as too.

In Edge, it will prompt you that the file cannot be downloaded, and you cannot save it as. Something like this:

In IE, if you want to save as the link, it cannot be achieved. Although you can choose the path, when you click Save, the same prompt message as Edge will appear.

Hope you can understand.

Best regards,
