DHTMLXGridexporting to Excel in Office 365

I am creating an app that will reside in the cloud via Office 365, which includes a grid whose data I would like to print and/or export to excel.

The trouble is that you are not really allowed to use server side code, and everything must be done via clientside javascript.

Is there any way/chance that the dhtmlxgrid can/might support this? The jqxGrid seems to be able to support it, but I prefer the dhtmlx one.

Hi,
unfortunately there is no way to export only at client side, but we provide online export server so you may use the follow export url instead of deploying your own export server:

mygrid.toExcel("http://dhtmlxgrid.appspot.com/export/excel");

This export service takes incoming xml and generates excel file.

And actually jqxgrid also needs a php file hosted on a server somewhere… the file is save-file.php
