How to Link to Files at Google Docs for Direct Download

Quoting Kay Cichini:

...Google doesn't tell you this, as far as I know - so, if you want to link to a file at Google Docs for direct download you can use the following address scheme:

https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=YourIndividualID

You can copy your individual file id from within the "Share..."-dialogue. Here you also need to put the share settings to "public" or to "anyone with the link"

Enable Windows "Modern" Themed Form Elements in HTML Applications

HTML applications display form elements, e.g. buttons and checkboxes, in "Windows 98 look-and-feel", even if your Windows is using the modern XP/Vista-style themes. To enable WinXP/Vista-style form elements, add the following code:

<meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="yes" />

Control Document Mode in an HTML Application

HTML applications, by default, display webpages in Compatibility View, which displays standards-mode content in IE7 Standards mode and quirks mode content in IE5 (Quirks) mode. This means that you cannot use post-IE7 features such as JSON.stringify(), or expect standards-compliant CSS support, unless you add the following code to your HTML application(HTA):

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

Where IE=9 can be replaced with IE=8, IE=10, or even IE=edge to automatically choose the most up-to-date document mode supported by the version of Internet Explorer installed on your machine.
