I've implemented the HTML5 buttons before, but now I want that when I click the excel button for example, the dialog box won't give the option of open the file, just force download, anyone have ever done that? or know how to acomplish it?

    There is no option for that. It is entirely dependent upon the host web-browser. Chrome on Mac for example will just immediately download the file with no other prompts.

    Yup and tangerine highlighted and as I stated before, I am not aware of an option to do that. Perhaps someone with more knowledge that my self might be able to help, but as far as I know, this is entirely up to the browser.
