[Solved] IE9-friendly CSV Export?

[jeff]

Is there a pure javascript method for exporting a csv from a grid that will work in IE9?

[Atanas Korchev]

Hi,

Currently Kendo UI doesn't support exporting to CSV. It supports Excel export though. The JavaScript method which does it is called saveAsExcel.

Hi Atanas,
Thanks, that works great in more modern browsers (especially once I found allPages: true), but not on IE9.

I understand I would have to use the proxyURL:

excel: {

    fileName: "Kendo UI Grid Export.xlsx",

    proxyURL: "http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/export",

    filterable: true

},


For the proxy url, what can I do, do I need a servlet, or can I pull this off client side?

Thank you!

That works great in more modern browsers (especially after I found the 'allPages: true'), but not at all in IE9 - I understand I need to use the proxyurl:

excel: {
        proxyURL: "/save"
    },

Can I pull this off client-side (localhost), do I need to write a servlet to handle this, or is there a more trivial way of handling this scenario?

Thank you!

Sorry about the double post, the site/page errored and I thought I lost it all!

Hi Jeff,

The proxyURL should be a server-side method that streams the posted data as a file so the end-user can download it. More information is available in our documentation.
