A:
You're not supposed to read local data from Javascript. A way of going around that restriction would be to upload the XLS, and then get it in Javascript via an Ajax call...
But then, you would need an xls parser, which don't seem to exist in Javascript...
It doesn't seem like a great way to do that. Is there a reason why you want to use Javascript, or you could use another language ?

In python you could use pyExcelerator : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyexcelerator/

Outsource this. Pay a guy to convert your xls to javascript. It's reliable, does not need to much knowledge from you. Perfect, isn't it ?
