NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      When exporting a space (it doesn't matter if it's XML, HTML or PDF exports), after the space export is finished, below the completion bar should have a "here" with a link after the "Download", however it's missing on Internet Explorer 11.
      Check screenshot.

      Workaround:

      • Go to <Confluence Installation>/confluence/admin/longrunningtask-common.vm and find this line
        return response.getElementsByTagName(tagName)[0].firstChild.data; and replace it with return response.getElementsByTagName(tagName)[0].textContent;

      OR

      • Use another browser, since this still works on Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

      OR

      • Using IE 11 in compatibility mode and change the compatibility mode to IE 9 when exporting the space. The download link will appear if set to IE 9 compatibility mode.
