table export not work on IE8

[kyo313]

table export not work on IE8 when I visit index.html, it said the page have some mistakes

[zardaloop]

I am also having problem with the IE9, IE 10 and IE 11 or generally any IE. The export does not work on IE at all. the example could be here : http://issues.wenzhixin.net.cn/bootstrap-table/#extensions/export.html
if you go to this URL in IE and try to export into any format, you will get an error. However if you go to that URL using Chrome or Firefox it works perfectly fine.

Any thought on that?

When debugging your example code in IE i cannot find the TableExport.js code. It seems not be included in IE. I see that there is a include statement for "//rawgit.com/hhurz/tableExport.jquery.plugin/master/jquery.base64.js which doesn't exist any more. This missing file invokes an internal 404 error in firefox and chrome, which is caught by that browsers but seems not be handled by IE. Thus please remove that statement and try it again.

It's crazy to still ask for IE 8 support nowadays in my opinion. Developers should not waste any more time on IE 8 support. The world has moved forward.

@RoelRoel I agree with you to an extent, a lotta companies still use IE8 for some weird reason, which causes tones of issues dev-end compatibility wise, I think companies should upgrade their browsers but til then support needs to be there or else that website will lose traffic

FYI: This plugin works with IE11
Most reason for not working with IE is a missing include of the FileSaver plugin

@hhurz could you tell more on the FileSaver - how did you get it working? I included this plugin but still have the same problem

[hhurz]

More information about FileSaver you can find on its home page: https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js

Thanks @hhurz, got it working!

Works on IE11 but not in 8 T_T

[hhurz]

@PabloRodriguezMontalvo: I confirm this

unfortunately our company is one stuck with IE8. Is there a fix this?

Thanks.

[hhurz]

Sorry, there is no IE8 support. Especially not for PDF format, cause the underlying jsPDF fails within IE8. For text based formats like csv and txt you could try the outputMode option set to string or base64 and save the result of the tableexport() function on your own using some other plugins like ChenWenBrian and koffsyrup's saveTextAs() or Downloadify

[wilky27]

Yes ChenWenBrian's plugin worked for me. Many thanks!
