Hi,

What happens when you modify the filename attribute on your last line to:

HTML

window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-'+defaults.type+';filename=exportData.xlsx;' + base64data);

Hope it helps

No...it is exporting it as download.xls(in chrome)..
It became browser dependent.. In mozialla it will generate a 16digit has code as a filename.... In IE,it will ask for the folder location to rename and save the file.....
