    I don't believe so. Have you seen it doing that with any other web-site that generates CSV files?

    I haven't come across such thing before. As we couldn't show up excel icon in IOS device we are using CSV button for generating our excel data and exporting it into csv format. just to clarify my doubt Is there any function which could help me generate csv file and view that particular file in google docs?

    Thanks in advance

    You could use buttons.exportData() to get the data from the table (its just a bunch of arrays, so its trivial to turn into CSV). How you then get it into Google Docs - I have no idea I'm afraid.
