Please note that TableTools has now been retired and replaced by the Buttons and Select extensions which offers significant improvements and API integration with the rest of DataTables and the other extensions.
Maybe it would be possible to detect is user is using browser that is supported by js-xlsx and jsPDF? If yes then we could use browser only export?
I'd be happy to help, but first let me know if You are interested in that kind of implementation and should I try to add this into TableTools or maybe into another Extension?
Hi Allan. This is just proof of concept rather that fully working solution, but I was able to export data of DataTable to excel without flash. Here is my working code: http://live.datatables.net/pudavuya/1 I also started discussion about my idea (http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/27262/export-to-excel-without-flash-and-server-side#latest) but I wanted to get Your attention so I started this issue.
