Create simple xlsx (excel file ) from javascript or Jquery

This is the fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/ym4egje0/

I have two things to ask

  1. this is creating a xls , how to create a xlsx file and it does not work in IE , only works in google chrome , how to make it work in IE ?

  2. I want to put ColumnHead column header text and message1 and message2 should be consecutive rows .

Have to take as the index of (.) to cut into rows .

HTML

<input id="btnExport" type="button" value = "Generate File" />

JS/Jquery

$("#btnExport").click(function (e) { 

var ColumnHead = "Column Header Text";
var Messages = "\n message1.\n message2.";
   window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-excel,' + Messages);
    e.preventDefault();

});
