Let's dive straight into it:. The actual download is done by creating a Blob object, which is used for a newly created a tag with a link to the created Blob object which is automatically clicked which ultimately opens the "Save file" dialog.
Additionally it's appended to the body which is a fix for Firefox and is removed from the body afterwards we don't want to have tons of invisible a tags on our body. Long time no speak. Are the key and data attributes essential if I remove the "input" line line 8? It only redirects me. I have more than two files to be downloaded at the page. If I click at one file and click the next one before the first download is completed only second file gets downloaded and first one is failing. Please let me know if someone of you have resolved this issue.

Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead? How can I prompt a download for a user when they click a link.
Can this be done with jQuery, if so, how? Not entirely an answer to the original post, but a quick and dirty solution for posting a json-object to the server and dynamically generating a download. I think the best approach is to use a combination, Your second approach seems to be an elegant solution where browsers are involved. So depending on the how the call is made. I have been awake for two days now trying to figure out how to download a file using jquery with ajax call. All the support i got could not help my situation until i try this.
Another approach instead of saving the file on the server and retrieving it, is to use. NET 4. The reason that I want to use JQuery Ajax to do the call, is that it is asynchronous. Building my dynamic PDF file takes quite a bit of time, and I display a busy spinner dialog during that time it also allows other work to be done.
The approach of using the data returned in the "success:" to create a Blob does not work reliably. It depends on the content of the PDF file. It is easily corrupted by data in the response, if it is not completely textual which is all that Ajax can handle.
I had something similar happening to me with a JSON, for me on the server side I was setting the header to self. Also know that in order for the file to still keep the.
Many of the solutions proposed on this article have the JavaScript run asynchronously and create a link element then calling. Event sourcing has a bunch of meanings across computing such as a system of pub sub in a cloud based architecture, or the browser api EventSource. In the context of a browser all events have a source and that source has hidden property that says who initiated this event the user or the site. No, of course you can. You just need to give the user a chance to create the event.
Here are a number of patterns that you can use to create user flows that are obvious and convectional and will not be flagged as fraud. Preloading If your download is non-configurable you may want to consider preloading the download into resp. As with the other answers you can use window. Ahh but I'm just a hobbiest who loves his garbage collector.
Have no fear this is very simple if you are working in most frameworks for me react you just register some sort of clean up effect on your component and your right as rain. I think I got close, but something is corrupting the file Image , any way, maybe some one can disclose the problem of this approach.
I liked Frank's idea and decided to do my own twist to it. As trying to do it in one post is very complicated, I'm using the two post method but only hitting the database once and no need to save the file or clean up file when completed. First I run the ajax request to retrieve the data but instead of returning the data from the controller I will return a GUID that is tied to a TempData storage of the records. Then when I call the window. After this method is executed TempData will be free.
With HTML5, you can just create an anchor and click on it. There is no need to add it to the document as a child. If you want to have a special name for the download, just pass it in the download attribute:. Andrea Ligios Andrea Ligios Sir, Your input: "Content-Disposition", "inline; This is the only answer that mentions "window.
It does not work if you have a lot of parameters, because you will get too long url error. That sends the data in a very strange way to the server though. I wonder if it could be altered to create compliant POST? I faced the same issue and successfully solved it. My use-case is this. After fetching content as a blob binary , we are creating a downloadable URL and attaching it to invisible "a" link then clicking it.
I did a POST request here. Instead, you can go for a simple GET too. Naren Yellavula Naren Yellavula 6, 2 2 gold badges 27 27 silver badges 22 22 bronze badges. Otherwise great solution for modern web browsers. Shayne Shayne 1, 1 1 gold badge 15 15 silver badges 17 17 bronze badges. This is working example. Is it possible to do that without iframe but without window. I suppose you could just append the hidden form to the bottom of the DOM.
Also possibly worth exploring is use of the Shadow dom , although thats not necessarily well supported on older browsers. In this code I am getting this error. The frame requesting access has a protocol of "http", the frame being accessed has a protocol of "data". Protocols must match. How can I map this form to some model class? Thats probably a whole stack overflow question in and of it self. But the principle would be to take the name and path and store that, whilst pushing the file itself into a web accessible area of the file system, or something like amazon S3 for high availability — Shayne.
Here is a quick fiddle jsfiddle. You are totally right load event is fired right after the server is done processing starts sending the file. This is what i was looking for, 1- block the button and show processing so that the user can have a feedback that things are happening. Sorry my English. No need to create temporary files on the server. On jQuery v2. Mike S Mike S 2 2 silver badges 7 7 bronze badges. To get the file name from Content-Disposition, this match worked for me: filename.
However, your solution was the only solution that worked after searching a lot. Here is another lazier way to fetch the filename : npmjs. Wai Ha Lee 8, 62 62 gold badges 57 57 silver badges 86 86 bronze badges.

That'd help others understand what you've done so they could apply your techniques to their situations. Just a warning: Safari and IE does not support the download attribute, so your file will end up having the name "Unknown" — Yangshun Tay. Quick question, won't this generate the file twice?
