I use jquery post function to go to server and bring the link to file download.

When the func returns the link, I try to open a popup or iframe with link source, to popup save/open file window

I tried this 

window.open(data.link,'Download','top=20,width=3,height=3,left=20');

and 

document.getElementById('download').src=data.link;

It works in Firefox , but in Internet Explorer it shows the message : “To Help Protect Your Security, Internet Explorer Blocked..”

How do I get over this?

EDIT:
If I do it from direct link from the page it does not show me this message

    This is due to IE’s security settings. By default, IE automatically blocks any automatic downloads. There’s no (legit anyway) way you can get around that except by changing the security settings of the browser. The user will be able to download the file by clicking on the bar that it displays, and click download file.
