.html and .txt files are both "plain text" files. I believe that .xls files are "binary".
My guess is that execCommand('SaveAs') only works with "text" files. If you try it with .css or .xml does it work? Maybe there is something else that will let you save "binary" files, but I don't know what it might be.
thats what i am saying
it doesn't work with .xml files
i want the function by which i can do this

I found this page that uses vbscript and an adodb stream to save a binary file. I think you should be able to use the same control to save an xls file as it streams the binary data. http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/getremotebinaryfile.htm
