Export html table data to PNG format

You need an below script to export html table data to PNG format. html2canvas.js.

I have added IE support also to export HTML table to PNG.

  4. Hello, Karthikeyan
    The plugin is a great piece.
    It works fine for me (well… the Xls and PDF file can be generated)

    But the file is empty.
    I fetched some rows from my database and rendered in html table with an id=”export”
    the table contains data but the both the generated file XLs and PDF are empty..

    what could I have done wrong?
    Please Help me.
