Default html exported to excel when save as, defaults to web page

When I export html code in the .jsp to excel, and I open the .xls file, and
try to Save As, the file type automatically defaults to webpage file. I want
it to default to .xls file.

I have tried a number of methods. I have tried exporting from the .jsp with
no code at all(basically it opens a empty .xls file). This tried to save the
..xls file as a text delimited. When I added only the <html</html tags, it
returned to trying to save as webpage. I suspect that there must be some
tag(or at least some identification flag) that sets the Save As filetype
accordingly, but I cannot find where or what it is.

Thank you.
