@OombongoApr 07.2006 — This can't be done in Javascript because you need to make a connection with the database, and you are already fetching the data from the database for your display table

This can be done in PHP though.

@KorApr 07.2006 — No. Javascript is a client-side language, thus it can not create/write files. You might use AJAX to send data to the server (or simply submit data in classical way), where a server-side application (php, asp...) will do that transform job.

@tech_geekauthorApr 07.2006 — On my webpage i have a div element which again has 2 div elements. the first div shows table header and the second one displays table data. how can i submit that much data only without affecting the rest of the page with Ajax?

i suppose, i need to use "out.println()" in order to create the .csv file using jsp.

Any help?

thanks a lot!!
