Question

Can someone tell me if there is any jquery plugin to dynamically create .ics file with values coming from the page div values like there would be

Answer 1

This is an old question, but I have some ideas that could get you started (or anyone else who needs to do a similar task).

And the JavaScript to create the file content, and open the file:

var filedata = $('.start-time, .end-time, .Location').text();
window.open( "data:text/calendar;charset=utf8," + escape( filedata ) );

Presumably you'd want to add that code to the onclick event of a form button.

I don't have Outlook handy, so I'm not sure if it will automatically recognize the filetype, but it might.

Hope this helps.
