Definition and Usage
The download attribute defines the address of the download link.
The href attribute must be specified in the <a> tag.
The attribute can also specify the name of the downloaded file. The file name has no restricted value, and the browser will automatically add the suffix of the downloaded file (.img, .pdf, .txt, .html, etc.) to the end of the file name.
This attribute requires the download resource to be same-origin.
For more complete functionality, you can use a third-party JavaScript library:download.js。
