Download Any File From URL in HTML and JavaScript

In this short tutorial, you'll learn how to download any file from URL using HTML and JavaScript. If the URL isn't publicly accessible, you might get a CORS error, indicating the browser has blocked access to the file. You can try downloading publicly accessible files from sites like Pixel and Unsplash.

Most browsers will block it because of CORS.

I am surprised how this person doesn't have a CSS file created but still his screen has a bg color, most importantly not the default one.

Why are you setting the "download" attribute to the current time? Setting it to true would be enough... Also, I wouldn't say "any file from URL": CORS settings will break this for most cross-domain URLs.

How to automaticaly copy the link and download

[blueGD]

I mean why? CORS would block it and it would just be easier to paste the url in the search bar lol 😂. Or you could just use curl or wget and no cors problems 😅

If we paste a webpage it won't fetch the desired content but the html page right?
