Is it possible to put a peice of code inside my html that would create a clickable "save file as" link?

I am creating an ebook right now and I found that after I created it, the software i used makes it extremely difficult to save the file.

You'd need to write a PHP or Perl script to actually save the file. It doesn't sound like you have those kinds of skills, and I'm afraid there is probably no easy answer for you -- short of spending some time learning to program, or hiring someone to do it for you.

There are quite a few "force download" scripts available which will do what you want. If you have PHP available you can try the following script:

[webmasterworld.com...] (msg#2 by webkami)

If you have Perl you can use:

[webmasterworld.com...] (msg#3 by rocknbil)

There are some more examples via this search [google.com]. :)
