ok I havent been clear sorry
I know i can display it in excel format using
"application/vnd.ms-excel" but the problem is the table I
generate in the database
is  33meg so ideally i want to convert it to excel on the server (when
converting
a 33meg html/csv file to excel it reduces the file to 3meg) the user can
then
download the file excel file rather than streaming 33meg to the client.
been told i can do it using perl

I know that this is not UNIX but...

I do this in VBScript by sending a header:

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

And then just splatting a table:

<Table>
<TR>
<TD>...</TD>
</TR>
...
</Table>

Without any other <HTML>, <Head> or <Body> tags.

Any use?

I have a html file on a unix webserver which I have renamed to .xls as it
is
to be downloaded.
This is created on the fly. Is there any way I can convert that html file
to
a true excel on a unix box ? does such a tool/app exist ?
