Re: [Tsheetx-developers] Export to Excel not working in IE?

[Scott M. <Sco...@pr...>]

Argggh I hate MS...

 

I was bitten by other issues with IE on reports that I'd modified
locally.  So, after working on it for 5 hours, I've finally fixed my
issues, and the IE not loading an excel file problem.

 

There are MANY things that needed to be fixed.  The excel "headers" need
to appear before the session_start call, and some of the headers caused
IE to not be able to download the file.  My issues were caused by IE not
handling "buttons" correctly, and thus I had to mess with code to fix
that up.

 

So, I've now got export to excel working for IE again, and I'll be
checking in some nice "buttons" for exporting to excel and for printing.

 

Watch for those improvements by the end of the week (I hope).

Tested on a co-worker's machine this morning, they had the same problem
with IE that I have when attempting to export to excel...

 

I've attached an image that shows the error I'm getting.

Oh, forgot about the rest of your message.  The nice thing about going
to Excel is we pretty much don't need to do anything special to get it
to work.  Output to CVS, I think, would require us to rewrite how each
form is created in two different ways.  That's going to be brittle.

Hmmm, from memory, I was getting an error something along the lines of
"Can't find remote file" when using IE 8, firefox works just fine.  But
it is certainly possible there's something wrong with my machine, I
haven't tested with anyone else's machine yet...

	Aside from solving the immediate problem (though a quick test
with XP/IE/Excel2003 worked for me), we should maybe long term go for a
neutral solution, e.g. just export a CSV file.
	Most finance programs can handle CSV files, can't they?

	It could just be a bad memory on my part, but I thought at one
time the export to excel function worked in both Firefox and IE.
	
	I am working on a few minor improvements to the existing
reports, and have noticed that the export function fails in IE now.  It
tries, but immediately fails.  
	
	So, am I forgetting that this never worked, or has Microsoft
managed to break this for us in one of their IE updates?  If it's
Microsoft's fault, anyone know how to fix it?
