    Can you ink to the page please so we can take a look? For example, which buttons specifically are you using? It is worth noting that Safari's file creation and downloading abilities are very limited at the moment due to this WebKit bug. As such the excelHtml5 button type is not supported in Safari, which is noted in the documentation.

    Thanks Allan for reply.

    its working on actual mac machine with safari browser. but one thing is that, it was not able to open Save File Dialog box, directly csv file was loaded in to new tab. i will need to open Save File Dialog box for that. so please help me to resolve this issue.

    Many thanks,

    Yup - that is exactly the bug I linked to above. This is a limitation in Safari. If you need this feature I would suggest using Apple's feedback tools to ask them to fix that WebKit bug. There is nothing I can do about it I'm afraid (I'm not a WebKit hacker and wouldn't have a clue where to start in the WebKit code base to fix it!).
