Infragistics grid export to a different location

Question

The version I'm using is 15.2 (ignite UI)

Here's the export function:

$.ig.GridExcelExporter.exportGrid($("#grid"),
                   {
                        fileName: 'export',
                        tableStyle: 'tableStyleLight13'
                   }

By default it saves under the "Download" folder. Is there anyway to change the save location? Or to display a prompt for user to choose save as location?

Answer 1

Downloading operations are handled by the browser, so in order to have a prompt window from where to specify different path to your computer, you should enable that from your browser.

For example in Chrome, you should do:

Working sample

$.ig.GridExcelExporter.exportGrid($("#grid1"), {
                    fileName: "igGrid"

As you will see the sample is also showing how to implement confirmation box before downloading the file.
