I need to put a certain table into an Excel table. I am using the solution to this question: HTML Table to Excel Javascript
I left the JS unchanged, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var tableToExcel = (function () {
var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
, template = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>'
, base64 = function (s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
, format = function (s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function (m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
return function (table, name, filename) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = { worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML }
document.getElementById("dlink").href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx));
document.getElementById("dlink").download = filename;
document.getElementById("dlink").click();
}
})()
</script>
This is the HTML I use to trigger the download: The anchor:
<a id="dlink" href="#testTable" style="display:none;"></a>
The button:
<input type="button" onclick="tableToExcel('testTable', 'testTable', 'myExport.xls')" value="Export to Excel">
The table attributes:
<table data-name="testTable" id="testTable" summary="All members" rules="groups" frame="hsides" border="2">
Once I click the button, it opens Excel and gives me the following error:
'C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\myExport.xls' could not be found. Check the spelling (insert rest of microsoft BLA here)
Any help appreciated!
Just found out the following: IE == NOT EVEN WORKING Chrome == Gives me file, but leaves some fields filled with the value 'тВм0'. FireFox == 'C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\myExport.xls' could not be found. Check the spelling (insert rest of microsoft BLA here)
