IE + XLSX Format support

[chankeypathak]

It doesn't work in IE10 and lower versions. Also there should be a way to download file in xlsx format.

Any more information than "it doesn't work?" Reason you can't use a current browser? Also, what do you mean by "download file in xlsx format"? It is in the standard open xml format which is 100% excel compatible. You can rename it to .xlsx and it will open in excel if the extension bothers you :)

I'm using the same code as yours.

Check this: http://jsfiddle.net/chankeypathak/7cwZ9/10/

If you open it in chrome/ff it works fine, in IE it doesn't work, means the Excel is not downloading.

And regarding XLSX I want to say that there's a mime type to download file in XLSX format which is

"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet"

but it doesn't work for me, can you check?

and renaming the above xls file to xlsx doesn't work. file doesn't open in that case.

1. That jsfiddle isn't my plugin. 2) See First accepted answer here regarding IE: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7405345/data-uri-scheme-and-internet-explorer-9-errors/8453636#8453636

I tried your demo/index.html and that didn't work in IE.

BTW you're using the btoa method (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.btoa) which is only supported in IE10 and higher so your plugin will not work in IE9 or less.

Is this resolved? and any workaround for IE?

This plugin is a hack and as such, isn't going to work in all browsers. As it stands, it will not work as intended in IE 11 on 8.1 because I'm not prompted to save, but instead it tries to open an associated app from the Windows Store.

I wouldn't even try to support IE9 given how old it is, but you're welcome to fork and add that support of course.

It does work in Chrome 44.
