Embedding an Excel document on a web page

I need to display an Excel spreadsheet within a web page. The frame within the web page containing the spreadsheet should also contain all of the Excel toolbars. It should behave exactly the same as embedding an Excel spreadsheet within a Word document (i.e. when the spreadsheet is selected, all of Excel toolbars and buttons are available)

The easy way out is to just point an href to your excel file. When IE, you will get all the tools...(if installed on the client). I believe that it uses ftp to upload any changes. Stupid Microsoft...

NOTE: NETSCAPE HAS A REAL HARD TIME WITH THIS.


You should look into using a server side script (PHP) to read in your excel file and parse it. This would be much more cross platform. PHP cannot read .xls files natively, but ODBC works.
