          The document.execCommand('saveas') functionality is supported only in IE and is not supported in Chrome and Mozila.



          You can force the SaveAs using http header. You have to include the following header in HTTP response of the file to be downloaded:



          Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<file name.ext>"



          Where <file name.ext> is the filename you want to appear in SaveAs dialog (like finances.xls or mortgage.pdf) - without < and > symbols.



          More info can be found in this link.
