Open / Save As Dialog Box

Jquery:

Is there a way to catch an event that fires when the browser opens the Open / Save As dialog box? Open / Save dialog box http://qpack.orcanos.com/helpcenter/Images/openSave.png

I need to do something when the dialog box is shown.

Impossible. The browser handles this specifically so that web hackers cannot force you to download the virus, which would be much easier for them if this happened in javascript.

A I know that there is no definite way to detect when this window appears. Try adding a click handler to the download button / icon. Or, as I solved this in my project, I added asynchronous logic. when the document was generated, I passed the "succes" to the client, and then the JS code did some logic that I needed.

I don’t know what I know.

I assume this will be open when you click on some element on the page. The best thing is to capture this event.

Given your anchor:

<a id="MyLink" href="MyDoc.doc">

A simple mouse click will capture this event before the text above appears.

 $(document).ready(function(){ $("#MyLink").click(function() { alert($(this).length); }); });

As far as I know, there is no way to do this.

Is the file type you are checking always the same? If so, you can do something like

 $("a").click(function(e){ var extension = $(this).attr("href").substr($(this).attr("src").lastIndexOf(".")); if ((extension && /^(zip|vbd)$/.test(extension))){ alert("Hi now you can do whatever you needed to do!"); } });

Please note: no e.preventDefault () as you still want the invitation to appear? Guess?

Check box for checking file extension

You can check OpenSave:

This is not part of jQuery, but you can easily integrate it. They seem to be using Flash to solve the problem.
