Excel as an application in javascript

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

Any ideas how I can approach this task.

Thanks, Ravi

I need a JavaScript data table with copy / paste from Excel. I could not find such, so I created a jQuery plugin: http://handsontable.com/

I suggest you explore the ExtJS grid. I think this will be a great place to start - the basis for the extra features you want to add.

You can do it from scratch or use this online tool called Appizy . It converts OpenOffice sheets to an HTML equivalent table. Basic formulas are converted to Javascript. This may be a good start to your project.

Only flaw, the webpage is in French. Hope it will be.

I would start with two libraries:

  • SlickGrid for grid user interface (very fast, clean code base)
  • Formula.js for evaluating formulas (coming soon)

I would use a simple table with text fields in td regarding layout. JQuery can be used to attach click handlers to each of them to handle summation and other formulas

A bit late answer, but you can take a look at: jqGrid, which just needs jQuery, which is much less than extJS.
