i trying export data table csv file without having use plugins found code:

jquery("#exportbutton").click(function (e) {      window.open('data:application/csv;charset=utf-8,' + jquery('#mytable').html());             e.preventdefault(); });

html :

<table id="customers">   <tbody><tr>     <th>company</th>     <th>contact</th>     <th>country</th>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>alfreds futterkiste</td>     <td>maria anders</td>     <td>germany</td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>centro comercial moctezuma</td>     <td>francisco chang</td>     <td>mexico</td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>ernst handel</td>     <td>roland mendel</td>     <td>austria</td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>island trading</td>     <td>helen bennett</td>     <td>uk</td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>laughing bacchus winecellars</td>     <td>yoshi tannamuri</td>     <td>canada</td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>magazzini alimentari riuniti</td>     <td>giovanni rovelli</td>     <td>italy</td>   </tr> </tbody></table> 

js :

$(function() {     var link = document.createelement('a');     var data = ($("#customers").text().trim().replace(/[\n]+/g, ";").replace(/  /g, "").replace(/;;;/g, ";\n") + ";").replace(/\n/g, "\r\n");     link.download = "test.csv";     link.href = 'data:application/csv;base64,' + btoa(data);     link.click(); });
