Does Javascript allow download from the server to the local filesystem ? I ask that because i am trying to initiate a file download through a link_to_function method which contains an Ajax.Request ... Here it is : <%= link_to_function("Ajax Download Pic", "new Ajax.Request('/main/dl_photos/ #{personne.id}?index=1', {}); ") %>
The file does download as it is shown in the terminal with a Sending XXX.jpg and status 200 Ok, but i don't see how to use the resulting response ... i know i have to use the onComplete function(request) {}, but how can i implement the function to save the file on the desktop ?
Thx.
