  window.open() and download file problem

  Nov 24, 2009 11:20 PM|LINK

  Hi all, 

   I'm trying to force the download of files using window.open('downloadfile.aspx?id=xxxx','') but with IE new window gets closed and the download confirmation box is not shown :(

  
  

  This user has the same problem:

  And this one too:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/208993/asp-net-file-download-does-not-work-with-ie7

  but i haven't found a solution... :(

  
  

  This is the code i'm using to force file download on download.aspx:

              Response.Clear();

              Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

              Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", fileName));

              Response.TransmitFile(MapPath("files/" + fileName));

              Response.End();

  <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 91px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            Response.Clear();</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 91px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            Response.ContentType = "text/plain";</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 91px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", fileName));</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 91px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            Response.TransmitFile(MapPath("files/" + fileName));</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 91px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            Response.End();</div>

  
  

  Thanks

  Pop Up blocker in play?

  Does it work if you just do it in the same page? AKA, you use window.location.href = filePath;

  Have you tried to use a hidden iframe? Set the source of a hidden iframe with the file path.

  i am agree with A1ien51 use this code

  <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">string path = newfile.Remove(0, 1);</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">                Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Window", "window.open('.." + path + "','');", true);</div> <div></div>

  string path =""// file path

  Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Window", "window.open('.." + path + "','');", true);

  <div>
  </div>
