Where to ask HTML questions

| I would like to find another group of this quality where I can post questions about the rudiments of
web development. For example, presently I want to know how to put a link on a web page which will
cause a .pdf file to be downloaded. So far the places I've looked haven't addressed that.
I'll be grateful for a suggestion of a public NG for that.

Same as any link to an HTML page except that it points to a .pdf instead
of a .htm. You can't control whether it will be downloaded, opened in
the browser, or opened in Adobe; that's all controlled by the user's
browser settings.

I thought that but when I put up a test page and clicked it from the site I got jumbled
alphanumerics. Didn't think that my browser (FF) might not be set right because I download other
..pdf files all the time. I'll go back and check. = Thanks.

I don't know of any groups where such topics are discussed. I would
instead suggest: http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp

Most likely cause is that the site's server is sending the wrong MIME
type to Firefox. If it tells FF that the file is, for instance, a text
file, FF will believe the site's server and render it as text.
