Using the Save Dialog

[BeMe]

Hi,
I am using in JS the save dialog:

window.document.execCommand('SaveAs', true, "NewFile");

the save dialog appears,
but in the combo box of "Save as type" there's only html.
I want to know if I could put there different file types, like txt, xls...
and how...

Thanks for helping!

I don't think there is. In fact, in some versions of IE, if you specify a non-text file, it will not even work without a hotfix. It also goes without saying that this works in IE only, so should be avoided if possible - it's better to go server-side.

usually you can simply specify a file extension in the filename box of a saveAs dialog, over-riding what the type combo says.
