title: Data URI used to export to CSV/Excel (no server-side request) : browser support/limitations?
body: <p>Following the questions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8150516/javascript-or-flash-export-to-csv-excel">Javascript or Flash export to CSV/Excel</a> </li>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3286423/is-it-possible-to-use-any-html5-fanciness-to-export-local-storage-to-excel">Is it possible to use any HTML5 fanciness to export local storage to Excel?</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>and as suggested, I'm thinking about generating a CSV file content in the client and then use a Data URI to prompt an "open-in-Excel" action from the browser. After reading the limitations and different levels of support of this feature (Data URI) from browsers I'd like to know about first-hand experience of this technique and about things I've to take care of.</p>
  
  <p>Thx.</p>
