download local html file on client side

I have a local file called test.html. The path to this file (relative) is "../slides/test.html".

I would like to :

How can i do these 2 things ?

I tried to get the file with ajax, i get data object containing html code of the file, but i don't know how to do to download and opening this file.

$.ajax({
    url: "../slides/test.html",
    success: function(data){
        alert(data);
    }
});

UPDATE

I solve the problem by doing this :

<ul class="buttonsList">
    <li><a href="#" id="fullscreenBtn">View in fullScreen</a></button></li>
    <li><a href="#" id="downloadBtn" download>Download</a></button></li>
</ul>

// Register click on download button
$("#downloadBtn").off().on('click', function() {
    var slideURL = $(".helpActive").attr("data-textTour-url");
    $('#downloadBtn').attr({href  : slideURL});
});

// Register click on download button
$("#fullscreenBtn").off().on('click', function() {
    var slideURL = $(".helpActive").attr("data-textTour-url");
    $('#fullscreenBtn').attr({target: '_blank', href  : slideURL});
});
