Download File using JQuery

Posted by

In this article, we will discuss using jQuery to download files. This tutorial provides a basic example of using jQuery to download a file from a URL. I briefly explained the response for the jQuery download file. I briefly explained how to download the CSV file with jQuery. Now let’s get into the details.

I’ll demonstrate a quick and simple way to use jQuery to download a file. window.location.href will be used in order to download the response. Let’s now run the HTML file that is below.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  
    <h1>How to Download File using JQuery?</h1>
  
    <a id="download" href="#">Click Here!</a>
  
</body>
  
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#download").click(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            window.location.href = "/docs/demo.csv";
        });
    });
</script>
  
</html>
