dotnet-framework-aspnet, How to create web page with spreadsheet like functionality? Hello,

I'm looking for a tool that would allow me to create a web page with the
spreadsheet like functionality. Basically, I want to be able to type in a
number in the cell and have all totals being calculated automatically
without having a page refreshed (or a trip to the server). That would be
possible to do with MS Excel web plug-in but I don't want to use plug-ins. I
want users to just access the page and don't worry if they have MS Excel or
MS plug-ins installed.
Is there a solution that would accomplish that? I can be written in any
language like ASP, JSP, DHTML, PYTHON or PHP or a third party tool. I really
don't care. I just wont to create a page with the spreadsheet like
functionality.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Tom

dotnet-framework-aspnet >> How to create web page with spreadsheet like functionality? You would need to use a client scripting language like JavaScript.

Apart from DHTML all languages you specified are *server side* languages,
and you didn't want server side functionality....

If you don't want roundtrips, then you have to work with client-side
javascript. (or vbscript, if you want to limit your audience to IE on
windows)

There is no ASP solution for this. You will need to use DHTML in client-side
code to do this. See a DHTML group or one of the scripting groups. You may
want to start at the DHTML documentation at msdn.microsoft.com/library. Just
drill down in the Web development node in the TOC.

dotnet-framework-aspnet >> How to create web page with spreadsheet like functionality? first off, decide on it you want postbacks. If you dont want a round trip on
EVERY cell then you have to use a CLIENTSIDE language (javascript) to do the
work for you.
