    <p>I'm submitting JSON data to a server. The server generates a PDF file and responds with the URL to that PDF file. I then make another request to the server to download the PDF file. To do the download, I create a hidden iframe and set the source the the PDF url. Note that I want the user's browser to stay on the same page and download in the background. More details about what I'm doing and the solution I went with can be found in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3499597/javascript-jquery-to-download-file-via-post-with-json-data/3506018#3506018">this SO question</a>.</p> <p>Whenever I use this technique in Chrome, everything works fine. But looking at the chrome developer console, I see the error message <code>Failed to load resource</code>. <strong>Is there a way to do this differently so that I won't get these errors?</strong></p> <p>A very simple and working <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/94WvR/1/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">example of the problem in action</a> can be seen on jsfiddle. Just click the Download PDF button and look at your Chrome console.</p> <p>The code on that page looks like this:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready( function() { var downloadFile = function(url){ var iframe = $("iframe#download"); if (!iframe.length) { iframe = $("&lt;iframe id='download' style='display:none;'/&gt;"); $("body").append(iframe); } iframe.attr("src", url); }; $("button").click(function() { downloadFile("http://www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf"); }); }); </code></pre>

    1. COIf you take out the "display: none;" it works for me on Chrome Stable for Mac. I think it has something to do with the fact that Chrome is trying to open the PDF using a built-in PDF viewer. Maybe try changing the content-type of the response from application/pdf to application/octet-stream so that it will just treat it as a normal file and download 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).
