function table2csv(oTable, exportmode, tableElm) {     var csv = '';     var headers = [];     var rows = [];     // Get header names     $(tableElm+' thead').find('th').each(function() {       var $th = $(this);       var text = $th.text();       var header = '"' + text + '"';       // headers.push(header); // original code       if(text != "") headers.push(header); // actually datatables seems to copy my original headers so there ist an amount of TH cells which are empty     });     csv += headers.join(',') + "\n";     // get table data     if (exportmode == "full") { // total data       var total = oTable.fnSettings().fnRecordsTotal()       for(i = 0; i < total; i++) {         var row = oTable.fnGetData(i);         row = strip_tags(row);         rows.push(row);       }     } else { // visible rows only       $(tableElm+' tbody tr:visible').each(function(index) {         var row = oTable.fnGetData(this);         row = strip_tags(row);         rows.push(row);       })     }     csv += rows.join("\n");     // if a csv p is already open, delete it     if($('.csv-data').length) $('.csv-data').remove();     // open a p with a download link     $('body').append('
'); } function strip_tags(html) {   var tmp = document.createElement("p");   tmp.innerHTML = html;   return tmp.textContent||tmp.innerText; }
