Simple Excel export

This is a really simple technique we've used to export data from a web-based system to an Excel spreadsheet. Since Excel documents are XML-based, simply creating a valid structured HTML page and serving it with the correct MIME header causes Excel to handle the document.

<%Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"%>
<table border="1">
	<tr>
		<td width="26">One</td>
		<td width="75">two</td>
		<td width="77">three</td>
		<td width="339">four</td>
		<td width="77">five</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>s
	  <td>8</td>
	  <td>15</td>
	  <td>25</td>
	  <td>brian</td>
	  <td>23</td>
  </tr>
	<tr>
	  <td>9</td>
	  <td>25</td>
	  <td>22</td>
	  <td>travis</td>
	  <td>33</td>
  </tr>
	<tr>
	  <td>10</td>
	  <td>23</td>
	  <td>55</td>
	  <td>dan</td>
	  <td>22</td>
  </tr>
</table>
