export html to excel using javascript

IE 6 has an option under the right-click menu saying
Export to Microsoft Excel.

Maybe you can try that out.

Programatically one would export to Excel only if the data in the HTML file is in a spread-sheet format.But the same also contains HTML tags.

What is the nature of the data you need to export ?

The data is a report containing all kind of figures percentages etc. is build with <TABLE>,<TR>'s and <TD>'s

Your data will not be in a spreadsheet format when simply exporting directly..

Have you tried the IE 6 feature of exporting to excel.

If that doesnt work,you may have to parse your HTML file,select each value required from <TD>'s and enter them in specific cells in the Excel sheet
