Downloading word doc doesn't work on safari #119

Closed antislice closed 8 years ago

antislice commented 8 years ago

Click "Save as Word Document" in Safari.

Expected behavior: jobposting.docx file downloads Current behavior: a blank/empty new tab opens and no file is downloaded.

Also test firefox and IE (try browsertesting.com)

Known issue for FileSaver.js, it's some sort of WebKit bug: https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/issues/129. It looks like there's a workaround if you have control over the type you pass in during Blob creation, but we don't without mucking with html-docx.js.

Also looked into Downloadify, linked to as a solution from https://github.com/evidenceprime/html-docx-js. Doesn't work in Safari 9.1.2, aka on my machine. It's also Flash based.

Basically I have it to the point where it downloads a file called Unknown. That file (if you rename .docx) works fine. But that's obviously not optimal.
