Yeah, I think it's fairly recent.. if you don't have to support every single version of IE.. I think it's safe to use it :) (it also removes the need to store tmp files on the server) -- Morten Olav Hansen Senior Engineer, DHIS 2 University of Oslo http://www.dhis2.org On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 3:0

Hi Morten, Thanks. Just the selected rows from the CSV are going to be stored in the data store. But to do so, first I need to show the content of the CSV to the user (graphically). So I have to read the content of the CSV first. If I am going to do it in one of my own web app, what I will do is,

Did you have a look at the data store API? [1], you could also use the user setting API to store it (if its small enough) [2] [1] http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/developer/html/ch01s67.html [2] http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/developer/html/ch01s46.html -- Morten Olav Han
