Tnx guys for your help here, I did indeed find a satisfactory solution
now. The main pointer came from Thomas:
I assemble the data in JS in a form field. I then submit this to a
server CGI which immediately returns it with Content-type & Content-
disposition correctly set. No need to pop up a window or similar
workarounds, the browser accepts it and keeps the original page
untouched. Beautiful!
You are welcome :) But AISB, as you have server-side scripting to do it,
you should consider making an effort to have that working without
client-side script support at all, so that your application does not break
if for some (probable) reason client-side scripting is unavailable. That
could be as simple as having the server generate, in that event, the form
with the appropriate `input' elements filled in.
