create dynamic content to a file

[jman]

i'm creating a content (.csv file) dynamically and can display
it using the window.open() function. user can copy the
data and use it another app.

ideally what i'd like to see happen is that on clicking
my link - instead of opening a new window -
i'd like the browser's file download dialog to open and
write to a file directly.

all client side javascripting.

If by "creating a content (.csv file) dynamically" you mean creating
by Javascript client-side, then see
