I have a java script file in which a variable has some string like:

var xw = 'Some content';

I want to download this string as a file. How to do this in JQuery/javascript? I don't want to send any request on server using AJAX. Is there any way to download in purely JQuery/javascript ?

• It works only when i have a file already created. But i don't have such type of any file. – Abhendra Singh Commented Oct 12, 2012 at 11:54
• Why can't you use a server side language or ajax? – Eric Leroy Commented Oct 12, 2012 at 11:56
• This is a sample demo service. We are not using java and any other server side programming. This is normal HTML project. – Abhendra Singh Commented Oct 12, 2012 at 12:09
• Is there anyway to change the download file name? Right now it just shows as download?! – Omar Wagih Commented Nov 20, 2013 at 1:05
