Arrow.js is a tiny library (4.5kb gzipped) for displaying an arrow pointing to the browser download location. Perfect for pointing at that new file you downloaded!

Get Started

Include the javascript in your HTML

<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/ArrowJS/src/js/arrow.js">

Or use the minified version

<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/ArrowJS/dist/arrow-0.1.9.min.js">

Installing with Bower

Bower requires Node and npm.

bower install arrow-js --save

Browser Support

Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5+, IE 8+, Edge (Windows 10), Safari

• The Firefox download manager was introduced in version 23 so the arrow will point in the top right.

• Chrome downloads start at the bottom left of the page.

• IE 9/10 downloads start in the bottom center.

• IE 8 downloads come up in the center of the screen unless the security warnings comes up at the top of the page. So the arrow points at the top left.
