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!

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.
