So I had a thought today. I generate CSV from data already in memory in my JavaScript application, then pump that data to the user’s browser via a File download prompt — all in JavaScript –.
Is this possible?

If you want to do it entirely on the client-side, without any server interaction, you will need at least the help of Flash.
Give a look to Downloadify, is the best I’ve seen for client-side file generation.
Check the demo.
