function SaveToDisk(fileURL, fileName) { //alert("yes i m working"); // for non-IE if (!window.ActiveXObject) { var save = document.createElement('a'); save.href = fileURL; save.target = '_blank'; save.download = fileName || 'unknown'; var evt = new MouseEvent('click', { 'view': window, 'bubbles': true, 'cancelable': false }); save.dispatchEvent(evt); (window.URL || window.webkitURL).revokeObjectURL(save.href); } // for IE < 11 else if ( !! window.ActiveXObject && document.execCommand) { var _window = window.open(fileURL, '_blank'); _window.document.close(); _window.document.execCommand('SaveAs', true, fileName || fileURL) _window.close(); } } 

Second MEthod

function downloadme(x,y){ myTempWindow = window.open(x,'','left=10000,screenX=10000'); myTempWindow.document.execCommand('SaveAs','null',y); myTempWindow.close(); } 

You don't need AJAX to do that, nor would you be able to because of CORS limitations. Instead try something like this.

HTML:

<input type="text" placeholder="URL" id="url"/> <input type="text" placeholder="Filename" id="name"/> <a id="download">Download Link</a> 

JavaScript:

var url = document.getElementById('url'), name = document.getElementById('name'), a = document.getElementById('download'); a.addEventListener('click', function () { this.setAttribute('src', url.value); this.setAttribute('download', name.value); });
