Download attachment in IE10 not working

[khushboo_nf]

Hi,

I am trying to download an attachment in on a click event. The code after the clicking event is pasted below:

Ext.Ajax.request({    url: '/DPS_BE/StudyVersionControlServlet?action=downloadVerStudy',
    method:'GET',
    params: {
        stuID : study,
        version : version 
    },
    success: function(response){ 

        box.hide();
        var link = document.createElement("a");
        link.download = studyName+'_V'+version+'.doc';
        link.href = '/DPS_BE/temp/workingSOVDir/sov.doc';
        link.click(); 


    },
    failure: function(response){
        box.hide();
        Ext.Msg.alert('Server Error');
    }

});

Now the doc file is downloading perfectly fine in chrome, but NOT in IE-10. Please let me know the solution ASAP, as it is halting my crucial deliverable.

N.B.: I have tried to set the response type to "text/html" , "application/msword", "text/plain". But no success..

It doesn't look like IE has support for the download attribute:

The standard way to do downloads is using a Content-Disposition header, often in conjunction with a hidden iframe.

Thanks for the help.
Can I get the code snippet for download using Iframe?

In your case you don't need a form, for a GET request it's just a case of setting the src.

The key thing is the server-side header. You can find out more about that with a quick Google search.
