var i, j, str,
myTable = document.getElementById('mytable'),
rowCount = myTable.rows.length,
excel = new ActiveXObject('Excel.Application');// Activates Excel
excel.Workbooks.Add(); // Opens a new Workbook
excel.Application.Visible = true; // Shows Excel on the screen
for (i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < myTable.rows[i].cells.length; j++) {
str = myTable.rows[i].cells[j].innerText;
excel.ActiveSheet.Cells(i + 1, j + 1).Value = str; // Writes to the sheet
}
}
return;
}

Here is the answer: Export dynamic html table to excel in javascript in firefox browser by insin
var tableToExcel = (function() {
var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
, template = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>'
, base64 = function(s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
, format = function(s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function(m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
return function(table, name) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = {worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML}
window.location.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
}
})()
To answer the question about IE ( I could not answer in the comment box due to reputation restictions), the code above posted by Sharun won't work on IE 10+ ('permission denied' error). Here's a snippet that will work in IE 10+ along with older versions of IE, Chrome and FF:
var TableToExcel = (function () {
var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
, template = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table cellspacing="0" rules="rows" border="1" style="color:Black;background-color:White;border-color:#CCCCCC;border-width:1px;border-style:None;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:9pt;text-align:center;">{table}</table></body></html>'
, base64 = function (s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
, format = function (s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function (m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
return function (table, name) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = { worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML }
if (navigator.msSaveBlob) {
var blob = new Blob([format(template, ctx)], { type: 'application/vnd.ms-excel', endings: 'native' });
navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, 'export.xls')
} else {
window.location.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
}
}
})()
