Now something like that is a bit more tricky, but can't Javascript
actually trigger a proper Save As?
Something like <a href="#" onclick="*javascript*:
document.execCommand('Save As','1','saveMe.csv');"><img
src="./images/*save*.png"></a>
Should in theory work, but I think browser support for that is spotty,
so the solution to that stackoverflow post either lies in deep
Javascript vodoo.
Or make a suggestion to the Javascript "folks" would be better? In any
case a download attribute would only improve such a functionality (if
javascript support it) even further by displaying the proper UI.
