This is simple example for data export to excel from PHP or HTML file using java script. It is very useful for web application developers.
Let's try this
Create studentlist.php or studentlist.html file
<html>
<head>
<title>Export to excel</title>
<Script>
function exportExcel(){
var tableID = "studentslist";
var filename = "student_list.xls";
var downloadLink;
var dataType = 'application/vnd.ms-excel';
var tableSelect = document.getElementById(tableID);
var tableHTML = tableSelect.outerHTML.replace(/ /g, '%20');
// Create download link element
downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
if(navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob){
var blob = new Blob(['\ufeff', tableHTML], {
type: dataType
});
navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob( blob, filename);
}else{
// Create a link to the file
downloadLink.href = 'data:' + dataType + ', ' + tableHTML;
// Setting the file name
downloadLink.download = filename;
//triggering the function
downloadLink.click();
}
}
</Script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="studentslist" width="750" border="1">
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">Student List</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>SL No</td>
<td>Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>

</table>
<button onclick="exportExcel()">Export To Excel File</button>
