    <p>I have a situation where I need to give my users the option to save some data stored locally in their client memory to disk. The current workaround I have is having a handler like this</p> <pre><code>(define-handler (download-deck) ((deck :json)) (setf (header-out :content-type) "application/json" (header-out :content-disposition) "attachment") deck) </code></pre> <p>which does exactly what it looks like. The client sends their data up, and saves the returned file locally. </p> <p>This seems stupid.</p> <p>Please, <em>please</em> tell me there's a better, simpler, cross-browser way to let a client save some local data to their disk with a file-save dialog box. </p> <p>Every answer I read on the subject either says "no, you can't save files with javascript" or "yes, there's this one semi-documented piece of the Chrome API that might let you do it in three pages".</p>

    2. COHave you considered using `localStorage` instead? http://diveintohtml5.info/storage.html doesn't exactly involve *files* but you should be able to save and retrieve data as well.

    3. CO@Dave - Doesn't support Conkeror, but I guess that's asking a bit much :P. Otherwise, cross-browser, HTML5 compliant, and simple (I've already implemented it). I like it; if it were an answer, I'd have accepted it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
