Hi guys, I need to export a list of images to generate a PDF file so the user can download. What I used to do is using the plain form submit with hidden Use ajaxForm to trigger a file download - jQuery Forum. Thanks to you 'how to trigger a file download in javascript' would give answers much faster for any future searcher. (no jQuery) solution and without using the HTML5 attribute you could try this. How to trigger a file download when clicking an html tag or javascript in a modern browser.

This is crazy but I don't know how to do this, and because of how common the words are, it's hard to find what I need on search engines. I'm thinking this should be an easy one to answer.

I want a simple file download, that would do the same as this:

But I want to use an HTML button, e.g. either of these:

Likewise, is it possible to trigger a simple download via JavaScript?

I'm definitely not looking for a way to create an anchor that looks like a button, use any back-end scripts, or mess with server headers or mime types.

You can trigger a download with the HTML5 download attribute.

Where:

  • path_to_file is a path that resolves to an URL on the same origin. That means the page and the file must share the same domain, subdomain, protocol (HTTP vs. HTTPS), and port (if specified). Exceptions are blob: and data: (which always work), and file: (which never works).
  • proposed_file_name is the filename to save to. If it is blank, the browser defaults to the file's name.

You can do it with 'trick' with invisible iframe. When you set 'src' to it, browser reacts as if you would click a link with the same 'href'. As opposite to solution with form, it enables you to embed additional logic, for example activating download after timeout, when some conditions are met etc.

It is also very silient, there's no blinking new window/tab like when using window.open.

I think this is the solution you were looking for

I hade a case where my Javascript generated a CSV file. Since there is no remote URL to download it I use the following implementation.

You can hide the download link and make the button click it.

If your looking for a vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery) solution and without using the HTML5 attribute you could try this.

This is what finally worked for me since the file to be downloaded was determined when the page is loaded.

JS to update the form's action attribute:

If you can't use form, another approach with downloadjs fit nice. Downloadjs use blob and html 5 file API under the hood:

{downloadjs(url, filename)})/>

*it's jsx/react syntax, but can be used in pure html

Anywhere between your <body> and </body> tags, put in a button using the below code:

This is sure to work!

Another way of doing in case you have a complex URL such as file.doc?foo=bar&jon=doe is to add hidden field inside the form

inspired on @Cfreak answer which is not complete

For me ading button instead of anchor text works really well.

It might not be ok by most rules, but it looks pretty good.
