This is a simple jQuery plug-in that allows exporting html tables to CSV, XLS, TXT, SQL, JSON.

Import the script before </body>:

<script type="text/javascript" src="tableExport.js"></script>

And add this code to your javascript file:

$('.table').tableExport({
  filename: 'table',
  format: 'csv',
});

.table - The class name of the exported table.

(or using options):

$('.table').tableExport({
  filename: 'table_%DD%-%MM%-%YY%', // the filename prefix + date format (the extension is automatic)
  format: 'xls', // type of your export file: csv, xls, txt, sql, json
  cols: '2,3,4', // export of specified columns
});

$('.table').tableExport({
  filename: 'table_%DD%-%MM%-%YY%',
  format: 'csv',
  excludeCols: '1,5',
});

$('.table').tableExport({
  filename: 'table_%DD%-%MM%-%YY%',
  onbefore: function() {
    alert('The export of tables begins!');
  },
  onafter: function() {
    alert('Export complete :)');
  },
});

• %DD% — day
• %MM% — month
