<p>1 Introduction  Often times a table in a Coach contains information that the user would like a local copy in a format such as CSV or Excel.  The following script demonstrates how to export a Coach Table as an Excel file.</p><p>2 Table Export Script  Please follow the steps mentioned below in order to use this your application,  Drag 'Custom HTML' component from your coach palette.  Copy paste the script mentioned below.</p><p><a href="javascript:doSubmitExport()">Export</a> <script></p><p>//Modify the value of these variable for your coach var tableIdsToExport = "Table0,Table1"; </p><p>// a comma delimited list of the ids of the tables that you want to include in the excel export // if you include a tableId that does not exist in your coach, you will recieve a client side error message</p><p>//You do not need to modify the following part of the script</p><p> var form = document.createElement('div'); form.innerHTML = '<form name="exportData" method="post" target="_new" action="data-redirect.jsp"><input type="hidden" name="contentType" value="text/csv"><input type="hidden" name="data" value=""><input type="hidden" name="fileName" value="filename=reportData.csv"></form>'; //Work around a bug in IE: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927917 document.getElementsByTagName("H1")[0].appendChild(form); //document.body.appendChild(form);</p><p> function addExportData(csvTable) { if (document.forms.exportData == null || document.forms.exportData.data == null) { return; } document.forms.exportData.data.value = document.forms.exportData.data.value + "\n\n" + csvTable; } function doSubmitExport() { var tableArr = tableIdsToExport.split(","); for (var i=0;i<tableArr.length;i++) { addTableToCSV(tableArr[i]); } document.forms["exportData"].submit(); }</p><p> function addTableToCSV(tableId) { var table;</p><p> try { table = document.getElementById(tableId);</p><p> var a = table.innerHTML;</p><p>//replace existing commas with semi-colons. Poor mans way of handling embedded commas in a csv file a = a.replace(/,/g, ";");</p><p>//insert commas at the end of a table cell a = a.replace(/<\/td>/g, ","); a = a.replace(/<\/TD>/g, ","); a = a.replace(/<\/th>/g, ","); a = a.replace(/<\/TH>/g, ",");</p><p>//insert a newline tag at the end of every row. Need to do this before removing all tags a = a.replace(/<\/tr>/g, "---newline---"); a = a.replace(/<\/TR>/g, "---newline---");</p><p>//remove html tags a = a.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");</p><p>//remove whitespace (regexs found via google) a = a.replace(/\r/g, " "); a = a.replace(/[^ A-Za-z0-9`~!@#\$%\^&\*\(\)-_=\+\\\|\]\[\}\{'";:\?\/\.>,<]/g, ""); a = a.replace(/'/g, ""); a = a.replace(/ +/g, " "); a = a.replace(/^\s/g, ""); a = a.replace(/\s$/g, "");</p><p>//put newlines in a = a.replace(/---newline---/g, "\n");</p><p>//replace &nbsp which the coach designer inserts a = a.replace(/\&nbsp;/g, " ");</p><p>//a now holds a resonable csv that I can put in excel //alert(a); addExportData(a); return true; } catch (e) { alert("Table Export Error: " + e); } return true; } </script></p><p> Modify the information mentioned in the line 5. var tableIdsToExport = "Table0,Table1"; Note: provide a comma delimited list of the ids of the tables that you want to include in the excel export.  It shall display Excel export icon on the coach.  Once user clicks on the icon it exports all the table information in to a CSV file.</p>
