Hi Telerik user,
I have tried to implement export to excel functionality in radgrid but encounter issue with filename setting.
From the file download window after I fire exportToExcel() function from javascript:
When I click on open, the filename is not shown correctly (It shows page name instead of filename) but
When I click on save and put the file in a folder and then open the file, it shows correct filename.
I have tried to put filename as a parameter to exportToExcel(filename) but it is still showing incorrect filename.
Here is my code snippet:
Please share if you have ever encountered this issue.
Regards,
Canfield

Hello Canfield,
This problem occurs in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 when the content-disposition is set to inline (i.e. OpenInNewWindow="false").
Please go to the following demo, mark the "" option and let me know whether the file name is DefaultCS.xls (wrong) or RadGridExport.xls (correct)
MS Excel/MS Word/CSV
Kind regards,

I have OpenInNewWindow="true" configured for my RadGrid. However, when I try to export to Excel, the filename is coming back as the page filename_aspx, which is incorrect. Do you have a solution for this?

I'm seeing the same results as the OP, the requested filename isn't used, if I'm exporting using IE11, in Chrome, it seems to work fine. The same also applies to the online demo posted above.

Hello Roger,
I'm not able to reproduce the issue in IE11 when OpenInNewWindow property is enabled. Please examine the attached runnable demo and screenshot.
Let me know if I'm missing something.

I ran your demo, I got the same results as my application and the online demo mentioned above. IE11 doesn't acknowledge the filename Chrome does. See the attached IE11 results. Regardless of which button I click the results are identical. I'm running version 2014.1.225.40

Hello Roger,
I have to ask you some questions as I'm not able to reproduce the problem locally.
Do you have Microsoft Excel installed on this machine? Also do you use some kind of response compression mechanism? Do you run the website via localhost? If this is not the case, do you have SSL enabled?
By the way, not that it matters much in this case but judging on your screenshots, your browser seems to be IE9. Am I leaving out something?
