I put a button above my grid to export it to excel. The code for the button and grid is:
<input type='button' value='Export accounts' onclick="mygrid.toExcel('../assets/dhtmlxGrid_v25_pro/dhtmlxGrid/server/generate.php');" /><br/>
<div id="gridbox" style="width:100%; height:780px; background-color:white; border:hidden;"></div>
In Firefox, when you click on the button, it opens a new tab, and prompts for the download, and the grid is exported fine, but in IE, when you click on the grid, it opens a new pop up window with the same page as the one I clicked the export button in (the grid with the button appears in the new window without any prompts for downloads.
Does this work in IE?
