On http://foolip.org/microdatajs/live/#json I have a "Download it!"
function which uses data: URLs to save JSON generated by JavaScript. The
only real limitation with this approach is that one cannot suggest a
file name, so in Opera the suggested file name is "default".
Are there other ways to save script-generated data that don't involve
bouncing against a server? If not, any ideas how one might fix this with
data: URLs? The Content-Disposition header solves this problem, but
can't be applied here.
Going forward, there have been some proposals for making this work. See
thread at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2010Feb/0058.html
For your particular use case, a "disposition" attribute on <a> or
something would also work; I'm pretty sure that this has come up before
as well.
