When a user clicks on an image on a web page, I'd like to trigger the browser's Save Image dialog and to let the user save the image on their hard drive. Is there a cross-browser way to do this with jQuery/Javascript?

The only thing that comes to my mind is the document.execCommand("SaveAs") of Internet Explorer, you can open a window or use a hidden iframe with the url of your image, and then call it...

Check (with IE of course) this example I've done.
