return navigator.msSaveBlob(new Blob([content], { type: mimeType }), fileName);
} else if ('download' in a) { //html5 A[download]
a.href = 'data:' + mimeType + ',' + encodeURIComponent(content);
a.setAttribute('download', fileName);
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
document.body.removeChild(a);
return true;
} else { //do iframe dataURL download (old ch+FF):
var f = document.createElement('iframe');
document.body.appendChild(f);
f.src = 'data:' + mimeType + ',' + encodeURIComponent(content);
setTimeout(function() {
document.body.removeChild(f);
}, 300);

var array = []
var len = array.length;
var csvContent = "";

csvContent += array[i] + '\n';
}
var csvName = 'records.csv';
