Download link not working on internet explorer

Question

Hi I am getting an error on IE

TypeError: Object doesn't support this action

This is the code which is failing on IE but working fine on other browsers.

 var link = document.createElement('a');
            link.href = url;
            link.download = 'file';
            link.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click'));

The problem is on the link.dispatchEvent line.

Can anyone please help me to get it working?

较旧版本的IE仅支持专有的等效EventTarget.fireEvent（）方法，因此考虑使用所有IE版本完全支持的HTMLElement.click（） 。
