Yeah, CSV's are funny that way. &nbsp;You need to ensure that a bunch of things are in place in order for them to work cross-browser.<br />
<br />
I'm glad you found a resolution to your problem. &nbsp;Thanks for the points!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
is there any way to format a link to click on such that<br />
it will do a SAVE-AS/OPEN &nbsp;for a CSV file on the server?<br />
<br />
i've found Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=&quot;&lt;file name.ext&gt;&quot; <br />
but that has to be a part of an HTML file header. &nbsp; My CSV file is generated and sitting on server disk ready for download.<br />
<br />
i suppose i could make a PHP wrapper using that header<br />
and then &quot;playback&quot; the CSV text file to be the HTML page contents.<br />
<br />
but is there a more elegant way using a link somehow?

HTML content-disposition header equivalent in a URL link

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
