FAQ Topic - How do I prompt a "Save As" dialog for an

It is not possible with client-side JavaScript.

Some browsers accept the Content-Disposition header, but this
must be added by the server. Taking the form:-
` Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.ext `

Which is logical, my dear Watson Faq, as the below header line ASP-
insertion is "executed" in the browser BEFORE any clientside code runs.

From a clientside only webside point of view,
a view held by many clientside javascript programmers out of necessity,
the question realy is:

Is there anything in a clickable anchor, that forces such user response?

There is!

<a href='x.html'
onclick='alert("please rightclick, choose `save as...`");return false;'

I find it odd that only Opera gets it right.

Isn't this type of thing useless for all MIME types that the browser can
open natively?

yes you are right.
but what if you dont set the correct mimetype for the file,
I haven't pushed at the edges on this one.

<html>
<body>
<iframe frameborder="0" width="100" height="100" src="" id="file"
name="file"></iframe>
<?php
$data = file_get_contents( 'http://groups.google.com/groups/img/gicons/
science_n_technology_42.gif' );
#$mime = 'image/gif'; #true mimetype
$mime = 'application/x-unknown'; #arbitrary one
?>
<a href="data:data:<?php echo $mime; ?>;base64,<?php echo
base64_encode($data);?>" target="file">click here</a>
</body>
</html>

The filename is the tough part, it's argueable whether a "save as"
dialog _is_ prompted for an accepted mime because we are setting an
unacceptable mime, for data which after all doesnt have an intrisic
mime. I just thought this was worth a mention, a curiosity for mozilla
based browsers, one wonders if it's a feature that might be removed
later - if it is never adopted by IE.

Funny, on my Mac with FF in local, that opens Excel with in 1st cell
'1,2,3,4'
(after a dialog to 'open' or 'save' or 'cancel')
and ... nothing comes in the iframe.

the name of the sheat is : 5zfcwiy0-1.xls
- from where this name comes ?
- from where '1,2,3,4' comes ?

Where to find some more informations about this
href="data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,..." ?

Can we use it with other applications !MS ?
application/openoffice.org;

i've seen it used in ajax apps a bit, for small images, not sure why,
perhaps just because they could.

its not M$ compaitible - they never implemented this.
the name is randomly generated by your OS, and the source
MSwyLDMsNA==
is 1,2,3,4 base64 encoded
here's a start:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt
and you could use it with whatever application deals with the mimetype
you specify in the source.

cool huh, but limited in scope

Tried with FF followed code (*) :

onclick="parent.myfile.location.href='data:image/gif;base64,'+
encodeBase64(document.images[0].src); return false;"

but the iframe tells :
picture “data:image/gif;base64,blah”
can't be dispayed because of errors.

Think 'data' is the image's url (encoded in base 64)


(*) encodeBase64() is a JS encoding function found here :

I think it's the binary data.
What you would do is have an XHR call return base64 encoded data from
a serverside script, the string would then not have errors. Depending
on the browser, there might be a limit to the size of the image, this
method would be best for very small images.

Since we are a tad off topic anyway.

Here is code I use:

// PHP
$temp = 'image_name.x';
$temp_h = fopen($temp, 'rb');
$contents = fread($temp_h, filesize($temp));
fclose($temp_h);
$encoded = base64_encode($contents);
print '<img src="data:image/png;base64,' . $encoded . '" />';

You can see more at that Data URI article from Wikipedia.

Oh, and Internet Explorer 6 does not play Data URIs. I have no clue
about version 7.

My friend, I seriously doubt this will happen. Even though I have seen
some neat image creation methods in JavaScript, I doubt very much binary
interaction can go on. I would love to be proved wrong on this one though.

My friend, I seriously doubt this will happen. Even though I have seen
some neat image creation methods in JavaScript, I doubt very much binary
interaction can go on. I would love to be proved wrong on this one though.

OK.

I've played with this data:type-mine :
http://perso.orange.fr/stephane.moriaux/truc/html_to_xls.shtml
tested successfully in FF,
Opera has a secutity or sthg to abort,
iCab wants to download the data ...
Safari donwloaded an Excel file, this file opens correctly in Excel.

Don't know if that could be very usefull ... :-/
Try this one in a browser that reads it:

TOO COOL ! ! !
works fine with my FF 2, Safari 1.3, Opera 9, iCab 3,
and *even with my old NC 4.5* ! ! !

No french translation with mouseover ? :)

In Opera 9.10 on Windows XP SP2, all I get is your error about it being
Internet Explorer.

You test this way:

if(document.getElementById && !document.all)
// your error

But Opera supports document.getElementById and document.all.

Was that on purpose?

Sorry, no! I don't know how to say "it sucks" in French.

if (Mac.Internet_Explorer == 'merdeux') { alert('Oui!'); }

because Opera did cry about I don't know what
and because anyway I don't like Opera
hop! outside !
but you can see here what he does with my script :

Tiens ?
is was not simple to fix, but this time that works with my Opera 9
(easiest if Excel is opened first)

Doubtfully. It probably comes from the belief that the only browser that
supports both is IE and that is wrong.

Not at all ! I know Opera as iCab accept document.all
A better test, in that code would be if(!IE)

Yes I did test it (1st line in demo's JS) but my Opera played me a "tour
de cochon" so I left it.

I don't even have Excel on this machine and it works just fine
(OpenOffice.org).

I would agree with that, except Randy would beat me (maybe Jim too?).
And quite frankly, I don't have any good answer as to why I think all
Internet Explorer related stuff is crud. ;)
