title: Create excel sheet without using Activexobject in js
body: <p>I am trying to parse a xml and put the content of the xml into the excel sheet.
  I have the limitation to use only javascript/jquery and moreover the application is standalone for which this plugin is created.
  I tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>var excel = new ActiveXObject ( "Excel.Application" );
  excel.visible = true;
  var book = excel.Workbooks.Add;
  book.Worksheets.Add;
  book.Worksheets(1).Activate;
  book.Worksheets(1).Cells(1,1).value="My First Spreadsheet";
  book.Worksheets(1).SaveAs("C:\\excel_file.XLS");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this didn't worked as Activexobject works only in IE with Windows.
  Is there any other option to develop it.
  The standalone application is in java.</p>
