function fnExcelReport()
    {
             var tab_text="";
             var textRange; var j=0;
          tab = document.getElementById('headerTable'); // id of table


          for(j = 0 ; j < tab.rows.length ; j++) 
          {     
                tab_text=tab_text+tab.rows[j].innerHTML+"";
                //tab_text=tab_text+"";
          }

          tab_text=tab_text+"";
          tab_text= tab_text.replace(/]*>|<\/A>/g, "");//remove if u want links in your table
          tab_text= tab_text.replace(/]*>/gi,""); // remove if u want images in your table
                      tab_text= tab_text.replace(/]*>|<\/input>/gi, ""); // reomves input params

               var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
              var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE "); 

                 if (msie > 0 || !!navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./))      // If Internet Explorer
                    {
                           txtArea1.document.open("txt/html","replace");
                           txtArea1.document.write(tab_text);
                           txtArea1.document.close();
                           txtArea1.focus(); 
                            sa=txtArea1.document.execCommand("SaveAs",true,"Say Thanks to Sumit.xls");
                          }  
                  else                 //other browser not tested on IE 11
                      sa = window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-excel,' + encodeURIComponent(tab_text));  


                      return (sa);
                            }
