Hi all, I am Doing an Export to Excel with my Ruby on Ralis application.I have not used any gem or Plugin (since our requirement was something different, we couldn't use them). We used the inbuilt "format.xls" support that comes with Ruby on Rails.
The problem is that, when we get our Excel, Save as Type appears on the webpage. I want to change this to Microsoft Office Excel Workbook (*xls). How to do it? Below is my controller action code and the respective view with which we get the excel. Get_excel methods in controller def get_excel format.xls do headers['Content-Type'] = "application/vnd.ms-excel" headers["Content-disposition"] = 'inline; filename="myexcel.xls"' headers['Cache-Control'] = '' end end VIEW (get_excel.xls.erb) <html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" xmlns:ss = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" /> <head> <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <meta name=ProgId content=Excel.Sheet/> <meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Excel 11"/> <style type="text/css"> @page { mso-header-data : '&R CONFIDENTIAL'; margin: 0.75in 0.20in 0.5in 0.20in; mso-header-margin: 0.25in; mso-footer-margin:0.25in; mso-page-orientation: landscape; } table{ page-break-inside: avoid; } td{ white-space:nowrap; } </style> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <x:ExcelWorkbook> <x:ExcelWorksheets <x:ExcelWorksheet> <x:Name>Gantt Detail</x:Name> <x:WorksheetOptions> <x:DefaultRowHeight>319</x:DefaultRowHeight> <x:Print> <x:FitHeight>15</x:FitHeight> <x:ValidPrinterInfo/> <x:Scale>74</x:Scale> <x:HorizontalResolution>600</x:HorizontalResolution> <x:VerticalResolution>600</x:VerticalResolution> </x:Print> <x:Selected/> <x:FrozenNoSplit/> <x:SplitHorizontal>5</x:SplitHorizontal> <x:TopRowBottomPane>5</x:TopRowBottomPane> <x:ActivePane>2</x:ActivePane> <x:Panes> <x:Pane> <x:Number>3</x:Number> </x:Pane> <x:Pane> <x:Number>2</x:Number> </x:Pane> <x:ProtectContents>False</x:ProtectContents> <x:ProtectObjects>False</x:ProtectObjects> <x:ProtectScenarios>False</x:ProtectScenarios> </x:WorksheetOptions> </x:ExcelWorksheet> </x:ExcelWorksheets> <x:WindowHeight>8580</x:WindowHeight> <x:WindowWidth>12120</x:WindowWidth> <x:WindowTopX>120</x:WindowTopX> <x:WindowTopY>45</x:WindowTopY> <x:ProtectStructure>False</x:ProtectStructure> <x:ProtectWindows>False</x:ProtectWindows> </x:ExcelWorkbook> <x:ExcelName> <x:Name>Print_Titles</x:Name> <x:SheetIndex>1</x:SheetIndex> <x:Formula>='Gantt Detail'!$3:$5</x:Formula> </x:ExcelName> </xml><![endif]--> </head> <body> <table> <tr>some code</tr> <tr>some code</tr> <tr>some code</tr> <tr>some code</tr> <tr>some code</tr> </table> </body> Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/6033/_2177C6EE6FB99384.jpg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
