I am wanting to use fileReference to open an OS save dialogue so my users can save jpgs to their hard disks.

I been trying to get this working but I can’t can any one please give me some code or some idea how to get this working.

I just want to be able to click a button and the save dialogue appear asking where to save the file.

Thanks
