Answer 1

Here's a function for doing this in Firefox with JavaScript, assuming the user has Excel installed on their machine:

var tableToExcel = (function() {
  var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
    , template = '{table}'
    , 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))
  }
})()
