JavaScript to export HTML tables to Excel
But somehow nothing happens when i click on the button . I am using Mozilla browser . My code needs ActiveXObject enabled . DO i need to do something extra to get it done . ?
I created this fiddle for testing . If this works i will try out my real code . if this works for you then also please let me know . Thanks
jFiddle
Code :
JS :
<script type="text/javascript">
function CreateExcelSheet() {
var i, j, str,
myTable = document.getElementById('mytable'),
rowCount = myTable.rows.length,
excel = new ActiveXObject('Excel.Application');// Activates Excel
excel.Workbooks.Add(); // Opens a new Workbook
excel.Application.Visible = true; // Shows Excel on the screen
for (i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < myTable.rows[i].cells.length; j++) {
str = myTable.rows[i].cells[j].innerText;
excel.ActiveSheet.Cells(i + 1, j + 1).Value = str; // Writes to the sheet
}
}
return;
}
</script>
Html :
