export to excel in jquery or jqGrid

I have a jqGrid where I get data at once from server (java) in JSON format. I want the data in the jqGrid to be exported into Excel format.

Till now I saw this page which gives me an error in IE 'o.url is null or not an object' grid.import.js

Also I saw this demo where on the tool tip of export button it says Export To Excel but the file saved is in xml format.

So I would like any suggestions that can either transform my JSON string into excel using javascript or jquery plugin or using jqgrid's inbuilt feature.
