Where is the DOWNLOAD button?

I can not see any button / link for downloading a application or the suite. Can someone tell me how to do?
Thanks!

Um...

It's that HUGE red thing right on the page for every application. You'll see em all listed to the left here. (Apps Hosted Here) and then there's a big red download button that takes you to the "Pick a Mirror" page. Then there are like 20 Download links on the right-hand side of that page. Pretty hard to miss all that.

Could be a browser problem

Could be a browser problem that made it not show. Or maybe he/she was on the wrong page.

Vintage!

Unlikely. Have tried IE, FireFox, and Opera

I just can't SEE the huge button!

Take Abiword as an example: Things I can see are.

No DOWNLOAD button:-(

This problem could be due to javascript. I have such problems with some sites where javascripts are abused. Unfortunately I have no right to install any system stuff on this PC.

Can you tell me where is the button? Or send me the address (not javascrip) so that I can visit the download sites.

Thanks!

Youch!

Looks like it has disappeared. Maybe you have a filter set up to automatically remove any SourceForge links etc.
Try going to http://sf.net/projects/portableapps

Thanks!

I found them following your link.
Had disabled all my filters when I check this sites. There is just no such download button...

Thank you for your help!

See my screenshot

The problem is entirely on your end (either your PC or your firewall).

No Javascript

There's no Javascript on the button at all. Javascript isn't required to use this site (I don't build sites like that).

Most likely, you have a firewall or something else odd that's killing it. Probably one of those crufty "Internet Suites" by Norton or something that's supposed to filter out ads or bad things on the web but actually filters out all kinds of things it shouldn't. Try disabling it.

Here's what the page should look like:
https://portableapps.com/temp/AbiWorldPortableHomepage.jpg

And that button works in IE, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, etc. It really does sound like a firewall issue between your browser and the site. Whether that firewall is on the PC or somewhere at your company/ISP, I don't know. But the problem is on your end.

Thank you for your explainations

The "Download Now" button on your screen shot is invisible on my screen, no matter how I adjust my browsers.

The following is the related source code of your page:

You can place it on your USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive or a CD and use it on any computer, without leaving any personal information behind.

Is the thing for downloading?

As have said I cannot change anything at system level. May try on my linux box to see if I can find the button - very often it works under linux but not windows, very strange...

Thanks for your explainations!

This time I try to replace "" with "()". Sorry for the failed post. Please delete it.

Is "(div class="download-box")" the thing for downloading?

Hope they are visible this time?
