Flashfallback with html5 buttons?

iecwebmast

Quick question...
If I use the HTML5 export buttons setting, is the Flash fallback still provided for older browsers?

Or does the Flash fallback only work if you don't specify html5?

If you use the csv, excel, etc button types and also include the buttons.flash.js file, then yes.

So, it will not work if I use excelHtml5, pdfHtml5?
I've included buttons.flash.js

I've reread the information provided on the html and standard buttons explanation links cited in my original question.

https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/initialisation/export.html
Buttons provides button types that will automatically determine if HTML5 or Flash should be used based on the browser's functionality and it is strongly recommended that you use these button types over the specific HTML5 or Flash button types. These are: copy, csv, excel, pdf.

and...
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/html5/simple.html
Please note that the copy, excel, csv and pdf button types may also use the HTML5 button types noted here, providing a Flash fallback for older browsers (IE9-).

So that answers it! Flash fallback will NOT work if you specifiy excelHtml5 and pdfHtml5

Sorry for not picking that up on a first read through.
