Is it possible to initiate a download prompt in the browser for recognized MIME types using only JavaScript (client-side approach)?

by

There is a new download attribute in HTML5 that you can annote links with. It indicates to the browser that the resource should be downloaded rather than navigated to. Right now, it only works in Chrome, but it is part of the HTML spec and will hopefully be adopted by other browser soon.
