I have created a zip file in my servlet. Now I would like to trigger that servlet using Ajax and prompt the download dialog to the user. I can trigger the servlet, but I don't know how to get the save dialog. How can I achieve this?

function down() {

    var url = "/Jad";
    var xmlhttp;

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {// code for IE6, IE5
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }

    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        //alert("xmlhttp.status" + xmlhttp.status);
        if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {

        }

    }


    xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
    xmlhttp.send();


    var elemIF = document.createElement("iframe");
    elemIF.src = url;
    elemIF.style.display = "none";
    document.body.appendChild(elemIF);
}
