Answer 1

Without some PHP coding stuff it is not possible directly to download a Text file with HTML enter code here . You have to compress and ZIP that file, and than provide the link in HTML .

<a href="myfile.zip" target="_blank">Download</a>

And also if you decide to use that PHP stuff, read this question.

For doing it to JS read this question.

Answer 2

You can use window.location.href in javascript

<a href="#" target="_blank">Download this</a>

then js code just prevent the link from redirecting.

$('a').click(function(e){
                e.preventDefault();
                window.location.href = 'http://practice.com/materialize.rar';
});
