C#

function copyFn()

{

//copy innerHTML of YourTable to strCopy Variable.

var strCopy=document.getElementById("head").outerHTML;
//copy strCopy to clipboardData, this

window.clipboardData.setData("Text", strCopy);

var objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");

var objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add;

var objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1);
objExcel.visible = true;
objWorksheet.Paste;
