How can I explicitly force the File Download/Save Target As dialog to be displayed when following an anchor/href tag using JavaScript?

Hi,

When I write servlets I normally set the header with:



response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);



But this is a java solution, and unless you can set headers with javascript I think that could be a problem.
Further information about the Content-Disposition header can be found at: http://globecom.net/ietf/rfc/rfc2183.html.


Be aware that there is a bug on some versions of Microsoft IE as reported by this BUG: Content-Disposition Attachment Headers Does Not Save File.
