Four years after my first answer, new IE versions include IE10, IE11, and Edge. They all crash on a function that Microsoft invented (slow clap).</p> <blockquote> <p>Add <code>navigator.msSaveBlob</code> support at your own risk.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <h1>As of 2013</h1> <p>Typically this would be performed using a server-side solution, but this is my attempt at a client-side solution. Simply dumping HTML as a <code>Data URI</code> will not work, but is a helpful step. So:</p> <ol> <li>Convert the table contents into a valid CSV formatted string. (This is the easy part.)</li> <li>Force the browser to download it. The <code>window.open</code> approach would not work in Firefox, so I used <code>&lt;a href="{Data URI here}"&gt;</code>.</li> <li>Assign a default file name using the <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> tag's <code>download</code> attribute, which only works in Firefox and Google Chrome. Since it is just an attribute, it degrades gracefully.</li> </ol> <hr> <h1>Notes</h1> <ul> <li>You can style your link to look like a button.

    1. COIt works quite well for my requirement; just for doesn't takes up the <th> or header for the table in consideration.. is that intentional... What if we have two headers with colspan's; can we handle that using this??

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
