Downloading a file using extjs+spring

My application uses ExtJs as front end ans Spring MVC+Hibernate JPA as backend. I need to download a file. The url of the document is retrieved using the AJAX request.there is a Download button, and when the user clicks it, there should be an option for Save As.

   var body = Ext.getBody();
    var form = body.createChild({
    tag:'form'
   ,cls:'x-hidden'
   ,id:'form'
   ,action:'document/download/'+selDocument.data.documentId
   ,target:'iframe'

       });
    form.dom.submit();

This code is working fine for me now. The only problem is that the page gets refreshed when I click download. Is there any way to avoid that?

Probably the quickest way of doing that would be to spawn a new window with the URL of the download as the target..

window.open(url);

The browser will open a new window, show the download dialog control and then close the window.
