HTML5 Export to excel throwing error in IE11

Andrew1178

Hi guys,

So I updated to the most recent version of datatables and it's extensions and when I try to download an excel document using the excel button download it throws an error saying "We found a problem with some content in 'FileName.xlsx'. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of the workbook, click Yes.".

I tested the default datatables example here https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/html5/simple.html and it does the same thing.

Can anyone help?

Hey, just to add to this. I downgraded from 1.5.3 to 1.5.1 and it worked. I think there is a bug for IE 11 in 1.5.3

Sorry - I think its caused by this.

I'll post back in that thread when I've committed the fix.
