Yes it was the older version.
Thanks for your suggestions guys, I used a combination of response.js and
frame to render the response and also open a save as dialog.. In short:
in
form_query():
response.js = jQuery('#ddl').attr('src','form_query_download')
And
form_query_download():
Anthony,
Thanks for the explanation.
I tried cacheable=True in my select(), like:
rows = db().select(db.vmt_weekly.ALL, cacheable=True)
but it is met with internal error: type 'exceptions.SyntaxError' invalid
select attribute: cacheable
Is there something I'm missing?

On Tuesday,
Are you using the latest version of web2py? That's a new option.

Anthony,
The second option sounds more like what I want to do. And yes I don't want
to load the file itself into the component DIV. But as I stated earlier,
I'm trying to do two things from within the same controller
form_query(). To summarize, (with reference to the code below) what I'm
Can you show me how I could modify form_query() to embed JS (if I've
understood your second option correctly) in order to trigger the download?
You're not going to be able to have a single call to form_query both return
HTML content and stream a file at the same time -- those are two
I do want to also display content in the DIV. In addition to displaying
content in the DIV, I want the controller to also trigger a file download.
A more accurate version of the form_query() controller would be something
like:
In reponse to the form submission, it has to return a dict
window.open('{{=URL('reports', 'form_query')}}' + '/' + jQuery(this).val());
is still the way to trigger the download. The jQuery change event handler
could trigger the component loading *in addition* to triggering the above
command. Another option might be to include the above JS in a script
I think you should use
iframe src={{=URL('reports', 'form_query.load')}} style=width:0px;
height:0px; border:0/iframe

Hello!
I want to stream a file as an attachment in the response. I have this

If you want the file to download as an attachment, don't use a component. A
component creates a div for displaying content, but you just
