Hi all,

opens only jpeg files, gives error when try to open files other than jpeg.

please let me know how to solve this issue.

Hi all,


This code can be used instead of window.open() method which works fine in all browsers as window.open() gives problem in IE8.


Code: var downloadUrl = "../../rest/docspace/folders/" + folderId + "/files/" + rows[0].data.id + "/download";
var downloadFrame = document.createElement("iframe");
downloadFrame.setAttribute('src',downloadUrl);
document.body.appendChild(downloadFrame);
