Save dynamically created table content in excel file using SheetJS

I add rows into html table dynamically and I want to save the table content into xlsx file using SheetJs. The generated file is empty. Is somehow possible to do this in this case when table content was added this way? I also tried to add the rows rigth before creating the xlsx file..

    <p>Click the button to add a new row at the first position of the

    <table id="myTable">

        </TR>
    </table>
    <button type="button" id="first" onclick="First('myTable')">Principal</button>
    <button id="button-a">Create Excel</button>
    <script>
        function First(tableID) {
            let table = document.getElementById(tableID)
            table.innerHTML = "<tr>first</tr>";
        }

    </script>

    <script>
        var wb = XLSX.utils.table_to_book(document.getElementById('myTable'), { sheet: "Sheet JS" });
        var wbout = XLSX.write(wb, { bookType: 'xlsx', bookSST: true, type: 'binary' });
        function s2ab(s) {
            var buf = new ArrayBuffer(s.length);
            var view = new Uint8Array(buf);
            for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) view[i] = s.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF;
            return buf;
        }
        $("#button-a").click(function () {
            saveAs(new Blob([s2ab(wbout)], { type: "application/octet-stream" }), 'test.xlsx');
        });
    </script>
</body>

Issues

  1. text inside tr instead of td in dynamic content. This results in the table structure like below.

enter image description here

  1. XLSX.utils.table_to_book called before table content created.
