RE: CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem
That works in every other browser (that I tested..) except Chrome. Chrome just downloads the CFM template... -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:rick.r...@gmail.com] Sent: December-06-10 10:50 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem Have you tried using this mime type instead? application/msexcel On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Brook Davies wrote: > > I've been using the following code for years with no problems on > IE,FF,Safari to force the download of a CSV file that will be associated > with and opened by Excel: > > value="attachment;filename=""myExport.csv" charset="utf-8"> > > > However, this code in Chrome results in the actual template filename being > used without any association (ie.

CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem
I've been using the following code for years with no problems on IE,FF,Safari to force the download of a CSV file that will be associated with and opened by Excel: However, this code in Chrome results in the actual template filename being used without any association (ie. Download.cfm gets pushed to the user). I can get a straight up XLS file to be downloaded and recognized by Chrome, but no dice on the CSV formatted excel document. Has anyone got this to work in Chrome? I have of course googled this and not been able to find anything that works...
