LogFile	(Obsolete. Any string provided for this parameter is ignored.)
TitleStr	Title of the HTML page
CSSFile	File that contains cascading style sheet settings

TRClass	Class name of the tr item in the css file
TDClass	Class name of the td item in the css file
THClass	Class name of the th item in the css file

Remarks

Use this method to export to an HTML file. The export creates an HTML file that provides the sheet's data as an HTML table. The tags used to create the HTML table conform to HTML 3.2 (or later) guidelines.

This method can use the style settings from a CSS file to format the HTML page. CSS files are used to change the appearance of a web page. TableClass, TRClass, TDClass, and THClass are used to specify the class name of the css style for that particular item.

This method is called for the current sheet setting unless you first set the Sheet property to specify the sheet with which you want to work.

By default, HTML files created using Spread or the Spread Designer have the extension .HTM. However, you may use any extension.

If you would rather export a range in the sheet to an HTML table rather than exporting the entire sheet, call the ExportRangeToHTMLEx method.

Tip: You might want to save to a Spread (.SS8) file in addition to exporting it to HTML so that you can open the Spread (.SS8) file for future modifications.

The following table summarizes the formats to which you can save data from a workbook or sheet:

To Save To . . .	Use Method
Binary file (proprietary format)	SaveToFile
Tab-delimited file	SaveTabFile or SaveTabFileU
Delimited file (offers user-defined delimiters)	ExportToTextFile or ExportRangeToTextFile or ExportToTextFileU or ExportRangeToTextFileU
Excel-formatted file	ExportExcelBook or ExportToExcel
HTML file	ExportToHTML or ExportRangeToHTMLor ExportToHTMLEx
XML file	ExportToXML or ExportRangeToXML
XML buffer	ExportToXMLBuffer or ExportRangeToXMLBuffer
An array	GetArray

For instructions and more information about exporting HTML files, see Exporting to an HTML File and HTML File Export (online PDF manual). HTML File Export lists and describes the method in which Spread property settings are interpreted in the HTML table created in the exported file.

Return Type

True if successful; otherwise, False.
