<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm using a web application (using ColdFusion 9) to create &nbsp;an excel file to give to the user to download. &nbsp;When the page reloads the following is run <br />
<br />
window.location.href = '#application.settings.abs<wbr />oluteURL#m<wbr />odules/#ur<wbr />l.name#/ex<wbr />cel/#fileN<wbr />ame#';<br />
<br />
This exectedly creates a dialog where the user can &quot;save-as&quot; the file. &nbsp;However, this makes javascript on the page break (including some jquery items). &nbsp;Is there an alternative javascript call to prompt a user with &quot;save-as&quot; dialog WHEN th epage loads. &nbsp;Would prefer to not have to have them press a link.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

This exectedly creates a dialog where the user can "save-as" the file.  However, this makes javascript on the page break (including some jquery items).  Is there an alternative javascript call to prompt a user with "save-as" dialog WHEN th epage loads.  Would prefer to not have to have them press a link.

Using javascript to make a pop-up dialog when page loads

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
