Export as excel from HTML table shows all the table contents with tags

Question

i am currently having problem converting html table to excel but whenever i check the file it is filled with only one line ie with HTML tags of table. The chrome extension i am developing has table but with no id and class so i am targeting it using table:nth-child(2).

Here is my code:

var textbox = document.getElementsByName('regular')[0];
console.log(textbox);
    var para = document.createElement("input");

    var t = document.createTextNode("Show Password");
    para.setAttribute("type", "button"); 
    para.setAttribute("id", "btnExport"); 
    para.setAttribute("value","Export Table data into Excel");
    textbox.parentElement.appendChild(para);

$("#btnExport").click(function (e) {
    window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-excel,' + $('table:nth-child(2)').html());
    e.preventDefault();
});
