  1. POJavaScript Get Table Without First Column
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using a JavaScript function that I found on SO to export an HTML table to Excel. It works pretty well but I would like to exclude the first column of the HTML table when exporting to Excel. I can do this easily in jQuery but the function is in JS and I'm having trouble getting this to work. Can anyone suggest how I would modify this line of code to ignore the first column?</p> <pre><code>var ctx = {worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML} </code></pre> <p>where <code>table = document.getElementById("exporttable")</code></p> <p>EDIT - full code</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var tableToExcel = (function() { var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,' , template = '&lt;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"&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;&lt;x:ExcelWorkbook&gt;&lt;x:ExcelWorksheets&gt;&lt;x:ExcelWorksheet&gt;&lt;x:Name&gt;{worksheet}&lt;/x:Name&gt;&lt;x:WorksheetOptions&gt;&lt;x:DisplayGridlines/&gt;&lt;/x:WorksheetOptions&gt;&lt;/x:ExcelWorksheet&gt;&lt;/x:ExcelWorksheets&gt;&lt;/x:ExcelWorkbook&gt;&lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;table&gt;{table}&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;' , 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)) } })() &lt;/script&gt; &lt;input id="exporttoexcel" name="ExportToExcel" type="button" onclick="tableToExcel('exporttable', 'Tab Name')" value="Export to Excel"&gt; </code></pre>
