Hi,All
I have a scenario in my project: there will be a search result page , it's
layout should be like this:
=====================================================
Name SS# phone address
name1 ss1 phone1 address1
name2 ss2 phone2 address2
download button here
( Text Tab delimited *.txt
or CSV Comma delimited *.csv)
=====================================================
when this page is generated, we will NOT write those data to a file on the
server(we don't want create file to the server). so the download button here
is actually not downloading file from server.
Is there better way that user can download a file with the search result as
content ?
could it possible by setContentType with some special valid MIME type to
invoke excel or word window with the data showing there? if so, how to?
any one has experience with that?
and where I can get the documentation on the valid MIME types because I only
know couple MIME type such as text/html, text/plain, application/x-filler...
thanks a lot.
Helen
