Excel export script works on IE7+, Firefox and Chrome.
function fnExcelReport(){ var tab_text="<table border='2px'><tr bgcolor='#87AFC6'>"; var textRange; var j=0; tab = document.getElementById('headerTable'); // id of table for(j = 0 ; j < tab.rows.length ; j++) { tab_text=tab_text+tab.rows[j].innerHTML+"</tr>"; //tab_text=tab_text+"</tr>"; } tab_text=tab_text+"</table>"; tab_text= tab_text.replace(/<A[^>]*>|<\/A>/g, "");//remove if u want links in your table tab_text= tab_text.replace(/<img[^>]*>/gi,""); // remove if u want images in your table tab_text= tab_text.replace(/<input[^>]*>|<\/input>/gi, ""); // reomves input params var ua = window.navigator.userAgent; var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE "); if (msie > 0 || !!navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./)) // If Internet Explorer { txtArea1.document.open("txt/html","replace"); txtArea1.document.write(tab_text); txtArea1.document.close(); txtArea1.focus(); sa=txtArea1.document.execCommand("SaveAs",true,"Say Thanks to Sumit.xls"); } else //other browser not tested on IE 11 sa = window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-excel,' + encodeURIComponent(tab_text)); return (sa);}Just create a blank iframe:
