Data URI file download in Interent Explorer

Question

I have a web based application and was looking for a way for users to download their data from the websql tables. Someone suggested using data URI which seems to work in all bro

Answer 1

IE8 and IE9 only support the data URI for images. Read more about IE's support for the data URI here:

EDIT: You could try some kinda flash hack for IE. Pass the data to flash. Use AS3 to initiate a download.
