    I have a problem to convert an HTML table to an Excel file. I use

    window.open ('data: application / vnd.ms-excel,' + ...
    

    in javascript to perform this conversion. The problem is that the Excel file generated only has a one cell with all the HTML code inside. I need a typical table with rows and columns in Excel.

    Thanks in advance and greetings to the community. I am super newbie ... please be patient! ;)

    JAVASCRIPT CODE:

    function excelSeguimientos() {
    window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-excel,' + $('#tablaSeguimientos').html());
    e.preventDefault();
    }
    

    HTML CODE (TABLE):

    <table width="1000" id="tablaSeguimientos">
            <tr bgcolor="#CCC">
              <td width="100">Fecha</td>
              <td width="700">Seguimiento</td>
              <td width="170">Producto</td>
              <td width="30">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
              <td><?php                 
                    $date = date_create($row_Recordset3['fecha']);
                    echo date_format($date, 'd-m-Y');
                    ?></td>
              <td><?php echo $row_Recordset3['descripcion']; ?></td>
              <td><?php echo $row_Recordset3['producto']; ?></td>
              <td><img src="borrar.png" width="14" height="14" class="clickable" onClick="eliminarSeguimiento(<?php echo $row_Recordset3['idSeguimiento']; ?>)" title="borrar"></td>
            </tr>
          </table>
    

    Thanks for all!!

    NOTE: Is it possible to remove automatic the column with the image? Because the table is autogenerated by a mysql query, and has many rows! Thanks!

    @xavi : use the code below: <script>tableToExcel();</script> after the code above. It will redirect to a download
