Working solution:

XML

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"
        type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
       var tableToExcel = (function () {
           var uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;base64,'
   , template = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>'
   , base64 = function (s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
   , format = function (s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function (m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
           return function (table, name) {
               if (!table.nodeType) table = document.getElementById(table)
               var ctx = { worksheet: name || 'Worksheet', table: table.innerHTML }
               window.location.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
           }
       })()
   </script>

Here is the body html part

XML

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <input type="button" onclick="tableToExcel('testTable', 'W3C Example Table')" value="Export to Excel">
