Plan A: Storing the file on the server. 1. Submit the data to the server 2. The server converts and stores the Excel data (temporarily) and assigns an ID 3. ID is sent back to the client 4. Open a new window or use an iframe with the download URL containing the ID as GET parameter 5. Server sends the Excel data with MIME type "application/octet- stream". 6. "Save as ..." dialog opens. 7. ??? 8. Profit!
Plan B: IFrame with form submit 1. Create an invisible IFrame containing a form with your data in a hidden field 2. Submit the form via Javascript. 3. (magick) 4. "Save as ..." dialog opens. 5. ??? 6. Profit! On Sep 11, 10:34 am, Simon Rydberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having the same problem..
