If you want a link to download a file from JavaScript, handle the onclick event
and return a full page redirect to the file. It won''t actually navigate
the page to the new URL unless the URL is something that a browser can actually
show (the file will just download). You mention an image -- you will probably
need to set Rails to send this file as an attachment, since the browser will
believe that it can handle an image. Some browsers are unwilling to be led,
though, and you will still show the image. In that case, I find that Zipping the
file is a great way to force the issue.
