body: <p>How to use javascript or jQuery to open an excel html file in excel from the browser?</p>
  
  <p>I've been trying to just use the window.open(href) to open an html excel file.  It location on server is: /server/excelfiles/myexcel.xls, and I'm trying to open it in an excel app and not in an active x control in IE browser.  Its this even possible to open up a file in the application instead of the browser?</p>
