Show Save As Dialog Box Popup On Clicking Anchor Tag

Feb 18, 2011

What I'm trying to do is have a 'Save As' dialog box pop up when I click an anchor tag. What's hidden in the anchor tag is base64 information, so my anchors look like this:
<a href=# src='data:image;base64, (base64 string here)' ></a>
So when I click on this, it gives me the option of downloading my base64 info just fine, but the problem is, the name of it looks to be just the entire base64 string. I was wondering if there was a way I could set this name? I can get the file name, so I'd love to just put '....jpg' as the name that the user downloads.

The reason I'm asking is because when I download the file, it comes out as (random characters).bin.part, and if I know the download is a pdf, I try opening it with a pdf viewer, but get yelled at by the MIME type... however, if I simply change '.bin.part' to '.pdf', I can open the file just fine, so I'd love for an automatic naming system, but not sure how to implement that. I've tried the document.execCommand('saveAs', '1', '<filename here>'), but I think this is for an actual file that you serve from the server... I don't have the actual file, just the base64.

Show Save As Dialog Box After Clicking Link / Button

Mar 9, 2010

I am using ASP.net and javascript. Presently I have a link on the web page, which opens an image....if the user wants to save it , he has to right click the image and then save it. But,I don't want the user to right-click and choose the option "Save Picture As" or "Save Image" of the browser. Instead I want the user to click a link or button that is displayed just under the image. After clicking the link/button, the user should be able to save the image in his/her local hard disk/machine in a particular folder or just under C: or bringing up the file directory dialog box where the user can save in his/her own folder.

Save As Dialog From Download Button

May 4, 2011

I want to be able to do is to have a button that when the user clicks on it, it will open a "save as" dialog box so they can save a file (a separate file, not the html one that they are looking at) from my server. Is this really not possible using javascript, or am I just completely confused again?

Forcing Save As Dialog From Client Side

Dec 17, 2003

I am distributing some files on CD. Among other files i have

download.htm and
DataFile.txt

When download.htm file executes, it shoud set the path to the download file as the path for my data file and then opens the save as dialog box when user can then select storage location.

i can use some thing like

window.document.execCommand("SaveAs",true,"YourDataFile.txt");
window.close();

Here Save as dialog appears but how i can tie the box with the file on the CD?

Also execCommand is native to IE, How can i use this same in Netscape?

Jquery :: Fancybox - Clicking On Anchor Link

Jun 10, 2011

I did a search of the forums, and this was the only thing I could come up that seems similar: [URL]. The last post in this thread tells me what I already know from my other research today - this function doesn't work in FF, Safari, etc.

Here's my code:
Code:
<script type='text/javascript'> window.onload = function()
{ setTimeout(function()
{ document.getElementById('popupLink').click();
}, $timeleft); }; </script>

Works great in IE, but nothing else. I'm using a jQuery gallery tool called fancybox, and from what I can gather, the popup of the gallery must be tied to a click on an anchor link.

On their support forums, one of their admins suggested that I use the following:
Code:
<script type='javascript'>setTimeout( function() {$
('#popupLink').trigger('click'); }, $timeleft);</script>

Still doesn't work (not even in IE). BTW, $timeleft is a var that is being created in PHP. I've checked the source code and it is counting down correctly.

JQuery :: Anchor Tags Not Performing Correctly In A IE 8 Dialog Using V1.4.1 Or V1.4.2

Mar 2, 2010

I am currently having a problem with a couple anchor tags that I have on a jQuery modal popup (using jQuery-ui-1.7.2.custom.js for the modal popup).Both of them will work correctly when I use jQuery v1.3.2 in any browser but they will not work anymore when I upgrade to v1.4.1 or v1.4.2 in IE 8. Chrome and FireFox will continue to work like they did in the previous versions.

When a user clicks on one of the anchor tags the action should perform without posting back. I have set up the onClick like thisonClick="javascript: return false;" which should prevent them of posting back but it looks like itsignoringwhat is returned and posting back. The logic I am using here is also used on another page but without the modal popup. Everything works fine on that page with every browser for jQuery v1.3.2, v1.4.1, and v1.4.2.

One thing l would like to point out is one of the tags is a select all button which uses .live() so I can select all the checkboxes on the modal popup. The reason I point this out is because other posts like live-method-for-change-event-broken-in-jquery-1-4-2-for-ie-worked-in-1-4-1 also had problems with IE 8 and .live(). My problem and theirs might be related.

"Save As" File Dialog To Store Local Path

Feb 7, 2010

I am working with a activeX widget that has a method that produces an image which is saved to a users local machine. All the method requires is the path on the local machine. I need to obtain this path (hopefully utilizing a "save as" file dialog) and store its value to a variable so I can pass it to the method. It does work with an input type="file" but they are branded for file uploads an dit is a little misleading and confusing for the user.

example:

var path = $("#saveAsDialog").val();
activeXObj.saveScreenshot(path);
