You were able to do that for the last thre years. The same comapny that made the Javasheet made an Active x control and a NSCP plug in that did the same thing. Using Office 2000 web components, you can put up an active spreadsheet that has full charting capabilities, spelling and grammar checking, real time pivot tables, data querying, hyperlinking, web querying, etc. Those with older browsers see a static page, those with more advanced browsers (you know what that means) you get the actual spread sheet with full capabilities (much more than available with an Excel 5/7 compatible version.
Also, on my site over the last two or three years you can find where I embedded Excel 5, 7, adn 8 spread sheets in HTML pages wiht full fidelity. To make a long story short, MSFT has blown the competition away in terms of new web technology. Office 2000 is phenomenal. This is a major reason why I felt NSCP could not compete in the enterprise three years ago, for they did not have a productivity suite to bind to thier proprietary server technology (like MSFT, Lotus, and the Java has been - Corel). |
