Thilanka,
I quickly read these posts. As I understand, downloading a file is not 
supported by Ajax. In order to avoid adding complexity to this part of 
the code, I suggest to just abandon this feature; remove the code you 
had started for this.

I encourage you to update this page:
http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/AJAXify_Interface

by documenting the parts you Ajaxify; then add your findings about 
Export and Ajax downloading in the page, to guide future developers.
