Hi,

At first best wishes for 2012 for all you Servoyans !

We have a rather difficult to tackle issue :

We issue in webclient : ```  
plugins.file.writeFile(\_name, \_file.getBytes(), \_file.getContentType())

```auto
where _name is text-type and _file is JSFile-type.

The problem is that there is no file download in Firefox (9.0.1. and 8.). In Internet Explorer the file download does happen correctly !
Same code runs ok in Smartclient.

Any clues / help ?

Servoy 5.2.11

Regards,
```

I have some more info (after some testing) :

The Firefox download window seems to be ‘killed’ by a application.closeForm(‘my\_form’) command which closes the active modal Servoy window…

When I put an extra waiting dialog before the closeForm the Firefox download window appears as it should…  
Again, this happens only in webclient.

Help…

Regards,
