[RESOLVED] How to save a file after clicking on a link or button

[benmartin101]

I have file that is in a sql database. I have a web method that gets the file from the sql database as a binary. I call that web method using jquery ajax to get that binary data, which I need to save as a file in javascript. I've tried the following:

 var contentType = '';
//binaryData is an array of bytes
function Save1(binaryData) {
    var u16 = new Uint16Array(binaryData.length);

      for(i=0; i<binaryData.length; i++){
          u16[i]=binaryData[i];
      }
    var dataBlob= new Blob([u16], {type: "text/plain"});          

    var fileNameToSaveAs = "somefilename";

    var downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
    downloadLink.download = somefilename;
    downloadLink.innerHTML = "Download File";

      downloadLink.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(dataBlob);
      document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
    


  }

when I left click the created link, nothing happens. I have to right click and select "save as" to save it. I'd like it to prompt me to save the file when I left click. What is wrong with the code or is there a better way of doing this in javascript? Thanks.

Edit:
It looks like the code above doesn't even work. When you right click to save, the file is no longer the same size.

Is there another way of saving a binary data in javascript?
