RE: CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem
That works in every other browser (that I tested..) except Chrome. Chrome just downloads the CFM template... -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:rick.r...@gmail.com] Sent: December-06-10 10:50 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem Have you tried using this mime type instead? application/msexcel On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Brook Davies cft...@logiforms.com wrote: I've been using the following code for years with no problems on IE,FF,Safari to force the download of a CSV file that will be associated with and opened by Excel: cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment;filename=myExport.csv charset=utf-8 cfcontent type=application/vnd.Microsoft Excel Comma Seperated Values File; charset=utf-8 However, this code in Chrome results in the actual template filename being used without any association (ie.

RE: CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem FIXED
We fixed it! Turned out to be a missing quote around the filename, this works: cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment;filename=#filename# charset=utf-8 Brook -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:rick.r...@gmail.com] Sent: December-06-10 10:50 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CFHEADER on Chrome to download an Excel CSV / Mime Type problem Have you tried using this mime type instead? application/msexcel On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Brook Davies cft...@logiforms.com wrote: I've been using the following code for years with no problems on IE,FF,Safari to force the download of a CSV file that will be associated with and opened by Excel: cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment;filename=myExport.csv charset=utf-8 cfcontent type=application/vnd.Microsoft Excel Comma Seperated Values File; charset=utf-8 However, this code in Chrome results in the actual template filename being used without any association (ie.
