Browser Support
Currently, only Firefox and Chrome support the download attribute.
Definition and Usage
The download attribute specifies the download link address.
You only need to specify the download attribute when the href attribute is used.
This attribute can also specify the name of the downloaded file. There is no restricted value for the filename; the browser will automatically add the extension of the downloaded file (.img, .pdf, .txt, .html, etc.) to the end of the filename.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
The download attribute is new for the <area> tag in HTML5.
