Export JavaScript Formatting in Netbeans

Is anyone aware of a way to export the formatting for JavaScript in Netbeans 8.1?
When I click the export button and expand Formatting I do not see an option for JavaScript.
I've also considered the option of finding the file that these settings are stored in and using that, but I'm not sure where in the Netbeans folder it would be.
Thank you for any feedback.

I was able to track down the file org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomPreferences.xml at the location \AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1\config\Editors\text\javascript\Preferences. I gave this file to a coworker who placed it in the same directory and restarted the IDE which resulted in the same formatting settings that I had originally configured for mine. So the solution was to just share the file.
Hope this helps someone out in the future.

Can I load .gml in d3?

I saved a .gml from wolfram mathimatica, does anyone have an example of how to load the file and display on a webpage? I am dealing with d3 at the moment, would another language be more appropriate?
Thanks.

There's a really good post on exactly this at one developer's blog.
The gist of it is that D3, even in its latest version (v4, at the time of writing this), can't import GML files. However, you can convert a GML file into a JSON file, which D3 can read. You can use NetworkX for this conversion.
Alternatively, you may use Gephi to export the edges and nodes to CSV separately.

Style data and Export it to XLS/CSV/PDF using javascript

I have been searching a way to export data to xls/csv/pdf and found many threads talking about this topic:
Angular JS - How to export Javascript Object to XLS file ?
Export to xls using angularjs
However, none of these methods support styling data; text color, background color, regular/bold/italic, etc. For example, I wanted to style a header row background of a xls file to be gray. Moreover, most of them don't support in Safari/IE9.
Is there any library for exporting these types of data, which support styling data and also support all modern browsers?

For styling you need to use other available API's/.jar files
Apache POI for Excel
IText for PDF
I doubt if any JS file provide support for designing Excel and PDF.

You should take a look at the Microsoft Office XML Formats here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_XML_formats)
You can construct a variable with the xml tags, then output it as XLSX.

Attach PDF to PDF as attachment (not as a page) via Javascript in HTML (not in Acrobat)

I would like to generate a PDF portfolio using JS from an HTML/CSS page on a local machine. I would use a PDF template file which includes a PDF portfolio Navigator in SWF form. I have successfully accomplished this using C# and a command line program, but can not identify the proper Javascipt components to do this browser-side or pseuo-server with Node.js. Basically, I am looking for something which will allow me to append a PDF to a new or existing PDF via configuration choices and an 'assemble' action using a JS or HTML button. iTextSharp provides the required PDF interaction functionality, but I can not figure out to run this inside an HTML to allow configuration via the HTML/CSS DOM (i.e. checkboxes, text field desciptors, etc...). Does a library with this type of functionality exist?

So you want to create a PDF using JavaScript?
On a quick google search, I found what appears to be a javascript library for creating and manipulating PDFs call jsPDF
If you want information on how to upload files with JavaScript alone, here is an article on how to do that. It also shows you how to use the file element.
For style, I recommend using a CSS Framework is you don't know much about CSS. I personally use Twitter Bootstrap for quickly prototyping things. It's quick and easy, and has good documentation. You can also use this to see how to make a form in HTML. I haven't got any good starter tutorials for HTML off the top of my list, sorry.
If you don't know much about JavaScript, when it comes to getting the options from the form, so that you can use them as configuration options, I'd suggest using the jQuery framework. It'll help you get up and running quickly enough
Note, all of this shouldn't replace basic training in JavaScript and HTML/CSS. Frameworks make things simpler, but if you don't know how to do something without a framework, you're going to have a hard time with a lot of the more complicated things. This goes for every language

Needed help with javascript

So guys I am working on a program to like download stuff using javascript. I hav written the following code:
function download()
{
alert("Hello");
var url='http://somesite/somefile.rar';
window.open(url,'Download');
}
The code is pretty easy, but is there some other way to download the file using javascript? Also having downloaded the file is there some way to store it locally in the location of our choice, like d-drive? I had come across the javascript file api while searching the web, is it any useful in my scenario? Please help.
Edit: Fixed code formatting

No, this isn't possible. It is up to the client where to save files, not you.

Through Javascript, you can only set the file name that you want, but would not be able to access the file system i.e. All the folders, etc..
