I have an HTML element that downloads a file when clicked.

<a href="my-file.txt" download>
  Download File
</a>

But, the download attribute isn't supported in most browsers. If it isn't supported, I want to run a function when clicked. Is this possible with jQuery/JavaScript?

_"But, the download attribute isn't supported in most browsers"_ - What? It works in all browsers except Opera Mini (and IE11) -> https://caniuse.com/download – Andreas Nov 08 '20 at 17:16
@Andreas I am using Google Chrome and the download attribute isn't supported. – YeetYeet Nov 08 '20 at 17:19

If this doesn't work for you then you have either a really old version or there's something else. – Andreas Nov 08 '20 at 17:20
