Saving file on IE11 with FileSaver
file, filesaver.js, internet-explorer-11, javascript
Solution
http://caniuse.com/#search=file [2] Some browser don't support the File constructor.
The only way you can get a File instance is through `input[type=file]`
instead of wrapping it around a try/catch why not just do this:
var blob = new Blob(['content'], { type: 'application/xml' });
saveAs(blob, fileName);
Problem
I'm using FileSaver library ( https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js) and does not work on IE11, with other browsers I had no problem. The code is this: ``` var file = new File(["content"], "sample.xml", { type: "application/xml;charset=utf-8" }); saveAs(file); ``` I'm getting this error when the first instruction (new) executes: "the object does not accept this action" There's an open issue on git hub, but actually with no solution, I'm looking for a workaround that should work on IE11, like this: ``` try { var file = new File([msg.d], "test.xml", { type: "application/xml;charset=utf-8" }); saveAs(file); } catch (err) { // Code that works on IE11 .... } ``` Any help should be appreciated.
