Do all browsers support excel respond?
I'm developing web application on python.
But the client wants a tool that exports current page to excel.
So I had to write an extra code in every pages (views) that converts the table to excel using xlwt (python module).

But I have a better solution. It sends a current page's content html to the server and the server would respond this html table as excel type. 
Like this:

    response['Content-Type'] = 'application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8'
    Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" 

This works quite good. But I'm curious about whether every browser supports this excel respond!?!?! 

If not it would be a big problem to me :(

Or do browsers support it if only MS Excel or OpenOffice is installed on the client computer?
