The downloadFile action does NOT make an Ajax request. Clicking the button/icon in Widget calls the handleDownload method which triggers a downloadFile action.

I'm running a standard Flux implementation so I'm not sure what the exact Redux (Reducer) code should be, but the workflow I just created for a file download goes like this. The work around is to add a hidden form and submit it behind the scenes to get the browser to trigger the Save dialog. To see how the drop down lists work, download the sample file from the Excel Data Validation – Select Hours and Minutes page on my Contextures website.Browser technology currently doesn't support downloading a file directly from an Ajax request. You can see the formulas, and their explanations, in the sample file, and the written instructions. There are worksheet formulas that calculate the minimum and maximum number for each list, and the number of items. In the screen shot below, the Production Minutes has a minimum of 32, so it can’t be set lower than the Defect time. There are controls on the Production drop downs too, to prevent people from changing to an invalid time, after entering Defect times. Production Hours has been set at 4 hours, so the Defect Hours drop down only shows the numbers from 1 to 4.

In the screen shot below, you can see the Defect Hours drop down.

That made me start thinking about ways to control the time entry drop downs.

The reply to my response was polite, but persistent, “Thank you, and if you can think of a way to use drop downs, please let me know.” Accepting the Challenge Just type the hours and minutes, and use a data validation formula to check the totals.” I’ve used that technique in other workbooks, to compare totals, like the budget example, shown below. My first response was, “You can’t do that with drop down lists. He sent a sample file, with drop down lists in place, but they allowed invalid times to be entered. Production time and Defect time would be entered, and Defect total time could not be greater than the Production total time.

Last week, someone asked me how to create drop down lists for hours and minutes, and also control the total time that was entered.
