Hi Michael, Thanks for the example. My case it's a little bit different. I get the info from a db call and want to allow the user to download it as an excel file. And it works fine in stand alone mode but when invoked through jQuery the cfcontent is ignored. So I had to manually open another window which will trigger the download.
