I haven't tried the servlet route yet. I've been doing something like
this:
Window.open(GWT.getHostPageBaseURL() + "reports/" + (String)
csvFile, "_blank", "");
where
GWT.getHostPageBaseURL() + "reports/" + (String) csvFile
gives me the URL of a .csv file that I want the user to be able to
save to their local disk. It works in FF (it immediately displays the
save dialog) but not in IE. IE shows a new page with the contents of
the .csv file. I had to set a file association for Excel for .csv
files, and then in the FF Tools->Options->Applications folder set
Excel Files to "Always Ask", and it just works. Any ideas why this
doesn't work for IE?
