I dont understand. Do you want to also display the
data in "tab deliminated" format in the browser?
If so, then use an HTML table!
<TABLE rows="<%=results.length() %> cols="4">
<%
for (int i=0; i<num_rows; i++;) {
%> <TR>
<TD> <%=results[i].name %> </TD>
<TD> <%=results[i].address%> </TD>
<TD> <%=results[i].city %> </TD>
<TD> <%=results[i].phone %> </TD>
</TR> <%
}
</TABLE>
(the array reference is just for illustration. You should probably use a vector.)
Then also have a download button that goes to a _servlet_ and the
servlet just sends back the tab deliminated file with the appropriate
mime type. That way the browser will see the response as, say, an
excel file and save it correctly. If you want to download, you'll need
a different mime type for the response, otherwise the browser will
just try to display it.
