Though not really javascript, but what about using the new "download" attribute of the <a> tag?

To automatically trigger such a "click" in javascript, you can use jQuery to build a new DOM anchor obejct with .attr('download', true) and "click" it then. It depends on your actual needs, how to implement that nicely.
