Setting [removed] or window.open in AngularJS gives “access is denied” in IE 11

Question

I\'m admittedly an AngularJS newbie but I can\'t find why this code works in Chrome and Firefox but gives \"Access is denied\" in the javascript console with IE

Answer 1

Saving text in a local file in Internet Explorer 10

It looks like IE blocks window.open on blobs, but implemented their own functions for opening and saving blobs. Instead try

if (window.navigator && window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
    window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob);
}
else {
    var objectUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    window.open(objectUrl);
}
