Download anchor tag
I want the download to start as you click it but it opens the file in new/same tab than either you click download if pdf or right click save image as if it's an image.

I don't recommend doing this. Seems to me to be bad for user experience and accessibility
You'd want an anchor tag that works as both a link and a button, so you'd be fighting with semantics as well
Every video I've seen where they use the anchor tag with download attribute their file dowloads just by clicking the tag. Mine just opens up. (tried image,pdf they just open up). What am I missing here.
sorry for the late reponse.
Ah I didn't know that the anchor tag had a download attribute, disregard
