Javascript - Download CSV as File

Question

I\'m messing with some javascript to download some csv text:

Answer 1

In my case, it turned out that Excel ignored the charset=UTF-8 part. I found a solution in this post, to force Excel to take into account the UTF-8. So this last line did the trick for me:

downloadFile('2.csv', 'data:text/csv;charset=UTF-8,' + '\uFEFF' + encodeURIComponent(data));
