<li>Rowspan and colspan are supported by this widget. Please take note of additional information in the "Rowspan and colspan" section below.</li>
<li>Working with Excel:
<ul>
<li>To save a file for Excel
<ul>
<li>Set the <code>separator</code> to a comma (<code>,</code>).</li>
<li>Save the file with a <code>csv</code> extension, then load it into Excel.</li>
<li>Or, save the file with a <code>xls</code> extension; but when loading the file in Excel, you will likely see a message stating that the file is corrupt. Continue loading and you will see the expected data placed into each cell.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>To copy the data into Excel
<ul>
<li>Set the <code>separator</code> as a tab (<code>\t</code>).</li>
<li>Open the data in a popup window, then copy the contents to the clipboard.</li>
<li>Paste from the clipboard directly into a cell in Excel.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Using Bootstrap was kind of a pain in the butt... any click inside would close the dropdown.</li>
<li>I am sure there are better alternatives as the download button and popup are all completely customizable.</li>
<li>The download dropdown code is probably overly complicated because it is set up for two tables &amp; allows modifying almost all of the options.</li>

<li>The download dropdown code is overly complicated because it is set up for two tables &amp; allows modifying almost all of the options.</li>
<li>The only thing needed to output the table code (download or open a popup) is to trigger the following event after all of your widget options are set as desired: <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">$table.trigger('outputTable');</pre></li>
