Excel in HTML...possible?

[andyg]

I've been producing a Web Image Viewer for the past few months now which allows our Clients to view images we have scanned for them from anywhere. It's written using HTML, ASP, Javascript with an ISAPI extension dll doing all the database stuff.

However, I've been asked whether it's possible to embed Excel in an HTML page so that the Customers can record data from the images they are viewing.

This is my first venture into Web development so I confess to knowing absolutely "squat" about all this stuff. Can it be done? If so, how? Could I use the <Object> tag?

Grateful for any help.

You can actually do it on the excel side of the problem.
Just save it as a web page (it's sort of an export option in the program)...i believe that it works like adobe does, it launches a java applet in the browser designed to view the excel file.
Now, i undertand that you'll probably want the excel file in your web page...so, just export...look at how the code works (it's rough because it's not tabbed) but you should get it, they basically create a bunch of unique table cells, then uses css to control them.
Anyhow, it should be pretty painless, just use excel.
