Help Please! with interactive spreadsheet

[kprobinson]

I have a problem with uploading an excel interactive spreadsheet to my website. I'm spending way too much time on it and getting no where.

1) I created the excel spreadsheet by "save as html page". I upload it to my hosting company special file manager. When you open the page, the user has to click on "allow blocked content" to see the spreadsheet.

Can I somehow default the spreadsheet to open up automatically without being instructed to do so?

2) I purchased an online spreadsheet converter. It produces a zip folder when I do the conversion. I cannot upload the files contained in the zip folder in it's entirety to my hosting company special file manager. Thus, I get a partial spreadsheet on my new html template.

3) Can I create my own javascript with tables, cells and math formulas?
Where can I get the code? My spreadsheet is just 3 columns with basic
math calculations based on excel formulas.

Can anyone advise?

Thank you very much.

1) Sounds like an ActiveX control; requiring user permission. Note that only IE browsers can see the Excel spreadsheet!

2) The spreadsheet can be zipped into 1 file. Why multiple files for 1 spreadsheet?

3) Take your pick of an interactive spreadsheet: http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+spreadsheet

Because I am not technically saavy in these areas, I thought that maybe it would be best to create a URL link from my website.

Can I make the interactive excel spreadsheet into a URL and link to it from my website?

What are the steps in doing this?

Your expert advice is very much appreciated.

If you are 'not technically savvy', perhaps the best way is to use a Google (http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/docs.html), Microsoft (http://workspace.officelive.com/en-us/Learn-More) or other (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-free-office-suites-that-are-not-microsoft/) online app. You would have to restrict it's use to registered users.
