Question

I’m trying to POST the entire HTML for a dynamic table to another page which will parse the HTML as an XLS file. I can’t seem to get the onClick jQuery correct though, as the generated .XLS file just has contains one cell that reads : [object Object].

onsubmit='$j("#datatodisplay").val( $j("#table1") ).html()'

datatodisplay is the name/id of the hidden variable,

table1 is the table name.

Answer 1

Move your html() inside the val() function:

onsubmit='$j("#datatodisplay").val( $j("#table1").html())'
