failure with Chrome 32
I tested successfully your demonstration until the upgrade of Chrome to version 32. It does no longer download the file to the file system, but only the shortcut. Opera 18 still works fine.
Which demo? On Dec 13, 2013 2:27 AM, "clodoald" [email protected] wrote:

The demo is : https://github.com/ebidel/html5demos/blob/master/html5-demos.appspot.com/static/a.download.html
I uploaded the HTML code as this to our server.
I'm not seeing this in Chrome 32 or Chrome 33.

My platform is windows7 professional service pack1 64bits. I am using Chrome 33.0.1736.2 dev-m. I first noticed the problem on Chrome 32. How to reproduce: open https://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/a.download.html click the button "create file" drag the "download" anchor and drop it to the desktop. With Chrome 33 , the object which appears on the windows desktop is a shortcut to the following url blob:https%3A//html5-demos.appspot.com/70e53795-e063-4d1c-8963-4e512d586e46 With Opera 18.0 and Chrome 31 or earlier, the object created on the windows desktop was a text file which contained a copy of the content of the textarea, which is what I expected. Do you see the same behaviour?
