🔧 Proven Troubleshooting Steps
Method 1: Using a Binary Data URI
- Step 1: Replace the 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel' MIME type with a binary data URI using the Binary Data URI scheme.
Method 2: Using a Server-Side Solution
- Step 1: Use a server-side language like Node.js, Python, or Ruby to generate an Excel file.
✨ Wrapping Up
To fix the issue, you can use either of the two methods above. Method 1 involves modifying your JavaScript code to use a binary data URI scheme, while Method 2 requires setting up a server-side solution using a programming language.
