UTF-8 enconding issue using Excel export (not tested with other format)

[simogeo]

I have the impression that this jquery.base64.js file is more UTF-8 compatible than the current embedded version (see commit 335bacb ). Is that possible? Tested with libreOffice only.

Some complement (@hhurz ) :

Regarding UTF-8 and jquery.base64.js, I've seen in the code (around L358) :

downloadFile(defaults.fileName+'.'+extension, 'data:application/vnd.ms-'+defaults.type+';base64,' + base64data);

and tried :

downloadFile(defaults.fileName+'.'+extension, 'data:application/vnd.ms-'+defaults.type+';charset=utf-8;base64,' + base64data);

But I get the same encoding accent problem

[hhurz]

There was no need to replace the existing base64 code. The solution to solve this problem can be found in Encoding UTF-8 when exporting HTML table to Excel
and in this question Importing HTML table into OO Calc as UTF8 without converting to entities

Not sure to get you .... but I've seen you made some changes on the library, and specifically on base64. I will update it and make more tests to know if the problem persists.

Thanks
