On the table there is a table when clicking on the button, it should be downloaded to the excel file.

Found this way:

$('table.views-table.cols-7').click(function() { var url = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel.xls,' + encodeURIComponent($('table.views-table.cols-7').html()) location.href = url return false })

click put on itself (not fundamentally), but a simple file is downloaded, not without any extension

what attributes can this file have and how to set them, well, the same name for example. Is there any article?

The file must be formed on the server and not on the client, and then download it. With js client do not.

    Not quite, unexpectedly possible. With the help of the data protocol, you can unload at least a real xsl or xslx file (they are difficult to form in js, but you can :)). The problem remains - to create a file. There are two simple methods xml + html, or xml + excel (his own). One drawback - getting the file via the data protocol does not work for some browsers, in particular, ie. Works for Opera Fox Chrome. - nick_n_a
