send html content with Excel MIME type

[bill]

Hi All,
When I send html content with Excel MIME type, the page break style
sheet {page-break-before: always} doesn't work at Excel spreadsheet. Any
idea to convert html page break style sheet to Excel page break?

Thanks in advance

Hm? If it's html content, why are you advertising it as
application/ms-excel?

The simple way to know is to open Excel, create a new document, add a page
break as intended, save the file as HTML, and open it in notepad.
HTML saved with Excel contains a lot of Microsoft extensions, and I never
find any good documentation for this, so I did practice a little reverse
engeneering and it's the only thing I can answer to such questions.

It's a simple trick to simply export datas to MS Excel, and it works pretty
well : simple, reliable.

Using Excel as a COM object to generate XLS binaries is also imaginable, but
is shouldn't be done for important projects (MS provides no garantee that it
will works in a great load context). Another solution is to export as SYLK :
text format, easy to generate, can be opened in almost every version of
Excel and OpenOffice, but has a lack of functionnality in layout.
