export html form data to excel
Question
I have googled around and have been unable to crack this nut. I have a form setup to let my site visitors subscribe to my newsletter. It just sends an email to my email, and I add them to my contacts and just then forward them the newsletter. What I need is to be able to have their contact info placed in an Excel spreadsheet for ease of access to my list of subscribers. Can this be done with just html ? ( I don't know any js or whatever else could be required)

One method would be to create a php (or your fav scripting language) script that takes an input and appends it to a csv file. Then have the html form post to said script. You could even setup a cronjob that sends you an update copy of your contacts periodically.

Actually - there IS a way to get the data from your HTML form exported into an Excel spreadsheet.
In your HTML form you'll have to create a separate table (it can be hidden).
And the BIG SECRET IS: In the put id tags and then use a JavaScript to replace the innerHTML with the value of the fields on your form which collect the data you want.
Check out the JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/MitchinThailand/589C4/
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function fillHidTable(){
var htqf; //-- hidden field
var rf; //-- retrieved field
for ( var i = 1; i < 5; i++ ) {
rf = "htqf"+i;
document.getElementById(rf).innerHTML = document.getElementById("Q"+i+"CALC").value;
}
tableToExcel('hidTable', 'Analysis Results');
}
var tableToExcel = (function() {
var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
, template = '<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"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>'
, base64 = function(s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
, format = function(s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function(m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
return function(table, name) {
if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
var ctx = {worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML}
window.location.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
}
})()
</script>
