How can we add a File Type to the SaveAs Dialog Box?

Hi,

On XP IE, when we use Save As Dialog Box, it only has html and txt
file types. How can we add a File Type to the SaveAs Dialog Box?

Thanks,

Which file type are you looking for?

Hi, Dave,

For example, csv, xls, etc. file types.

Every application you run can only save in a limited number of formats based
on what it supports, XLS is a MS Excel format, IE cannot save in a format it
cannot open or create.
I can't imagine what a webpage saved in csv format would look like or of
what use it would be to you.
There are workarounds for some formats, such as using a print to PDF
utility to save a page in PDF format.

Dave,

I am trying to work on GWT to use iframe to write CSV format data
but found the SaveAs Dialog has only html and txt file types.
Apparently, it inherits from IE. Any idea to work around it?
