Getting "Unspecified" Java Script Error When trying to save a File.

[Suresh KumarS]

I am trying to let the user Save a XML file using the File Download dialog box. When the user clicks "Open", the file opens just fine. When the user clicks "Save" instead of "Open", it creates a javascript "Unspecified error". However, the file still downloads just fine. But then there is the error on the page that prevents anymore javascript from running. I have put a try{}..catch() around all of my code, but I still get the error. Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks.

I found a similar post http://www.coderanch.com/t/117761/HTML-JavaScript/Unspecified-error-when-trying-save

They mentioned its resolved . But they didn't mentioned how . Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Is there any Javascript involved in the file download? If so, what and why?

This error normally comes up when the document (the DOM) can't be found at all.

No i'm not using any Java Script to download. The Page has a data table from which user can select an element and export it. I wrote a Servlet to export the object into XML File. In the servlet doGet method i'm using ServletOutputStream to perform the operation.

   ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
         final XStream xstream = new XStream( new DomDriver() );
         response.setContentType( "text/xml" );
         response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition",
               "attachment; filename=" + element.getName() + ".xml" );
         response.setHeader( "Cache-Control", "cache" );
         response.setHeader( "Cache-Control", "must-revalidate" );
         response.setHeader( "Pragma", "public" );
         outputStream.print( xstream.toXML( element) );

I forget to mention this. I'm facing this problem only with IE in Windows 2000 Professional. In XP no problem.

I rather mean, is there any Javascript in for example the onclick attribute of the download button?

[Suresh KumarS]

No JavaScript for the Export Button. I'm using JSF so using action attribute of <h:commandButton></h:commandButton> to call a Java Method which will call call the servlet to export the object in xml format.

[Bauke Scholtz]

You should have mentioned that before.

Which JSF implementation/version are you using?
How does the HTML output of that h:commandButton look like?

I'm using MyFaces 1.1.5. Sorry for the late reply...
