excel like application in javascript

Question

Hi All,

I want to create an HTML/Javascript application with can behave like an excel sheet. I'm not talking about opening an excel sheet in HTML form but instead creating HTML/javascript code that will behave like an excel sheet where the grids and all will be html code etc. I hope you got my question.

Any ideas as how I can approach this task.

Thanks, Ravi

Answer 1

I suggest you investigate the ExtJS grid. I think it would be a great place to start - a framework for the additional capabilities you are looking to add.

Answer 2

I'd use a simple table with text boxes within the td's as far as layout is concerned. Jquery could be used to attach click handlers to each one for the purpose of handling totalling, and other formulas
