I am using filesaver.js and I have the following js code

function download(){
            //ejectCss();

        var t="snnsnsns\n";
        t+="aslhgakgskasgkgsakgas[]\n\n\n\"";
        var blob = new Blob([t], {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"});
saveAs(blob, "sliders-ui-custom-classes.css");


    }

To trigger that function I am using this:

<a   class="btn btn-warning btn-block container" onclick="download()">Download user-created classes</a>

But i get an error saying"String is not a function".Any ideas? Also this is not working

<a   class="btn btn-warning btn-block container" onclick="download();">Download user-created classes</a>

put semi-colon in anchor tag after download() – The Guest Apr 06 '15 at 20:50
better yet, abstract event handling from your html – Sterling Archer Apr 06 '15 at 20:51

Where is `saveAs` defined? – KJ Price Apr 06 '15 at 20:51
saveAs is from filesaver.js plugin.This piece of code is copied from an other script i made and in the other script it is working but not in my new one – cssGEEK Apr 06 '15 at 20:53
Is the error occurring in the 3rd party script or the code above? – epascarello Apr 06 '15 at 20:54
The error occurs in that part of code – cssGEEK Apr 06 '15 at 20:54

can you change the function name "download" to some other, and test it? Because I guess download is a html attribute. – The Guest Apr 06 '15 at 20:56
That did the trick.I used an other a tag with download attribute which caused the problem – cssGEEK Apr 06 '15 at 20:58
