title: Do all browsers support excel respond?
body: <p>I'm developing web application on python.
  But the client wants a tool that exports current page to excel.
  So I had to write an extra code in every pages (views) that converts the table to excel using xlwt (python module).</p>
  
  <p>But I have a better solution. It sends a current page's content html to the server and the server would respond this html table as excel type. 
  Like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>response['Content-Type'] = 'application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8'
  Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works quite good. But I'm curious about whether every browser supports this excel respond!?!?!</p>
  
  <p>If not it would be a big problem to me :(</p>
  
  <p>Or do browsers support it if only MS Excel or OpenOffice is installed on the client computer?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Any other "global" solution or ideas?</strong></p>
