Here is the answer: Export dynamic html table to excel in javascript in firefox browser by insin
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>'

return function(table, name) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = {worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML}

}

To answer the question about IE ( I could not answer in the comment box due to reputation restictions), the code above posted by Sharun won't work on IE 10+ ('permission denied' error). Here's a snippet that will work in IE 10+ along with older versions of IE, Chrome and FF:
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 cellspacing="0" rules="rows" border="1" style="color:Black;background-color:White;border-color:#CCCCCC;border-width:1px;border-style:None;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:9pt;text-align:center;">{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) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = { worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML }
if (navigator.msSaveBlob) {
var blob = new Blob([format(template, ctx)], { type: 'application/vnd.ms-excel', endings: 'native' });
navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, 'export.xls')
} else {
window.location.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
}
}
})()
Solution 3
$("#btnExport").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//getting data from table
var data_type = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel';
var table_div = document.getElementById('table_wrapper');//table_wrapper is table id
var table_html = table_div.outerHTML.replace(/ /g, '%20');
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = data_type + ', ' + table_html;
a.download = 'table_name_' + Math.floor((Math.random() * 9999999) + 1000000) + '.xls';
a.click();
});

I wanted to generate an excel sheet once a user clicks on a button . Basically i want to do exactly what is dicussed here
how to pass html table values to excel sheet cells (Kalle H. Väravas answer )
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
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 :
<table id ="myTable" > <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Jan</td> <td>01/04/2012</td> <td>Approved</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>Feb</td> <td>01/04/2012</td> <td>Approved</td> </tr> </table> <form> <input type="button" onclick="CreateExcelSheet();" value="Create Excel Sheet" > </form>
