Excel in javascript?

[timboyk12]

Is there anyway to make a javascript so that an excel document would load directly in an IE browser. I know you can use an IFRAME, but that prompts the user to download the file first, which I don't want. I'm not sure if this would be a javascript or something else, so any help will be appreciated.

I'm not completely sure what distinction you're trying to make as to your point. But...

HTML:
<a href="document.xls">document</a>

...or...

JavaScript:
top.location.href = "document.xls";

That is what i had been doing, but it always asks the viewer to download a file before it loads, which I don't want it to do. Is there any way to get around that?

No, I don't think so. Sorry. ;)

Thanks i didn't think there would be because of all the "security features" in ie, thanks again for your help :)
