I'm trying to use this script to save a html table to an Excel file, and it works fine, however it doesn't come up in the proper name, but rather with a random string. And I can't see why .

I call it with:

code

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))
}
})()
