This is my approach, just add this code to your js/html file

$("#list").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager',{view:true, del:false, add:false, edit:false, excel:true})
                .navButtonAdd('#pager',{
                                caption:"Export to Excel", 
                                buttonicon:"ui-icon-save", 
                                onClickButton: function(){ 
                                  exportExcel();
                                }, 
                                position:"last"
                            });

        function exportExcel()
        {
            var mya=new Array();
            mya=$("#list").getDataIDs();  // Get All IDs
            var data=$("#list").getRowData(mya[0]);     // Get First row to get the labels
            var colNames=new Array(); 
            var ii=0;
            for (var i in data){colNames[ii++]=i;}    // capture col names
            var html="";
            for(i=0;i

PHP script

header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

$buffer = $_POST['csvBuffer'];

try{
    echo $buffer;
}catch(Exception $e){

}
