If I understand you correctly, you have PHP code (lets call it makecsv.php) that makes a CSV file and returns it to the user. When the user visits the script makecsv.php you want them to be prompted to save the CSV file you just generated. If that is what you meant, this is not a JavaScript thing. Just set the Content-type and Content-Disposition headers in your PHP script. The browser will then bring up a "Save as" dialog box when it receives the output from the script. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php <?php header('Content-type: text/csv'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.csv"'); echo 'field1,field2,field3,field4'; ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
