I have a question about exporting an HTML table as an xlsx file. I did some work and now I can export it as an xls, but I need to export it as an xlsx.

Here is my jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/272406sv/1/

Here is my HTML:

<table id="toExcel" class="uitable">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Kampanya Basligi</th>
      <th>Kampanya Türü</th>
      <th>Kampanya Baslangiç</th>
      <th>Kampanya Bitis</th>
      <th style="text-align: center">Aksiyonlar</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr ng-repeat="Item in campaign.campaignList">
      <td> Item.CampaignTitle </td>
      <td> Item.CampaignHotelType </td>
      <td> Item.CampaignHotelCheckInDate) </td>
      <td>Item.CampaignHotelCheckOutDate</td>
      <td style="text-align: center">
        <button> Some Action </button>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<button onclick="exceller()">EXCEL</button>

Here is my JavaScript code:

<script>
  function exceller() {
    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];
        })
      }
    var toExcel = document.getElementById("toExcel").innerHTML;
    var ctx = {
      worksheet: name || '',
      table: toExcel
    };
    var link = document.createElement("a");
    link.download = "export.xls";
    link.href = uri + base64(format(template, ctx))
    link.click();
  }
</script>
