In this article I will explain with an example, how to use table2excel jQuery plugin in HTML.
This article will explain how to convert (export) HTML Table to Excel file with the help of the jQuery table2excel plugin.
 
 
HTML Markup
The following HTML Markup consists of an HTML Table and a Button.
Inside the jQuery document ready event handler, the Export Button has been assigned a jQuery Click event handler.
When the Export Button is clicked, the jQuery table2excel plugin is applied to the HTML Table and it is converted (exported) to Excel file.
The jQuery table2excel plugin accepts filename parameter which sets the name of the Excel file.
<table id="tblCustomers" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
        <th>Customer Id</th>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Country</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>John Hammond</td>
        <td>United States</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>Mudassar Khan</td>
        <td>India</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>3</td>
        <td>Suzanne Mathews</td>
        <td>France</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>4</td>
        <td>Robert Schidner</td>
        <td>Russia</td>
    </tr>
</table>
<br />
<input type="button" id="btnExport" value="Export" />

        $("#btnExport").click(function () {
            $("#tblCustomers").table2excel({
                filename: "Table.xls"
            });
        });
    });
</script>
