CSV output with more then 10,000 rows ( trick)

Question

Dear All,
Tricked this sort of output by:
- Making a page that displays all rows.
- Column value have hidden comma's
- Javascript opens new window
- Javascript write all rows of the page with report to the new window
- Javascript tells the new window to do "Save As'
- Javascript closes the new window
Advice: keep report simple, otherwise browser will take up a lot of memory
Steps:
1. creating a page with max 100000 rows, report attributes:
Number of Rows 100000
Max Row Count 100000
2. create "Report template"
- set HTML id for report:
"before rows": <table id="report_loc">
- rows that displayes "invisible" comma's
"Column Templates" : <td>#COLUMN_VALUE#<span class="fh">,</span></td>
- "after rows"
<!-- after rows -->
</table>
- colum heading with "invisible" comma's
"Column Headings" : <td align="#ALIGN#">#COLUMN_HEADER#<span style="color:white;">,</span></td>
2 add Javascript and HTML to page
- in "HTML header" add:
<style type="text/css">
.fh { color:white; }
</style>
and:
<script type="text/javascript">
function SaveCSV(){      
myWindow1 = window.open ("", "Wait", 'width=200,height=200');
myWindow1.document.writeln ( report_loc.innerText );
myWindow1.document.execCommand("SaveAs", null, "wsl_report.csv");
myWindow1.close();
</script>
Hope this workaround helps...

Answer 1

Please add button to save your CSV. This buttons calls the SaveCSV function
Create "button template" and add this button to your page:
Download CSV
