Does anyone have an alternative solution to using TableTools for exporting Jquery's Datatable to an Excel sheet? We cannot use TableTools because it requires Flash to be enabled but since a vast majority of our clients have their Flash disabled we sadly cannot opt for this route.

    Have you considered generating the Excel document on the server side, perhaps using [Open Office XML SDK](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb448854(v=office.15).aspx) or [EPPlus](http://epplus.codeplex.com/)(my personal favorite)? Export the underlying data, not the HTML table. – mason Sep 18 '14 at 20:07
  • Thank you very much! I'll look into both of these options. Do you know if what we're trying to accomplish is possible on client-side? – AirSlim Sep 18 '14 at 20:22
  • I'm sure it's possible, just about anything is. Whether there's an existing client side non-Flash based solution out there I'm kind of doubtful of. Usually generating binary documents is done on the server side. – mason Sep 18 '14 at 20:26
