    Hello,

    we have a very specific request from our customer to implement a new form ribbon button which will exports certain form fields to an Excel file. I found a very good example of how to do that on JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/wVejP/1363/
    Unfortunately that Export functionality with Javascript only works in FF and Chrome.
    But I need to make this work in IE. I read that there are restrictions from MS that do not allow Excel exports using Javascript.
    They mention a Workaround on the serverside. But how can my Server side help if I want an Excel "Save as" Dialog on the client side in IE?

    Can someone help me on this and give some advice?

    Thanks,
    Best regards,
    Thorsten

    Hi Thorsten,

    I'd do it for word. Create a button in the ribbon that will update a field and then call the Save action. Now at the save message call the plugin that will export the  data into the excel.
