How to create web page with spreadsheet like functionality?

T

Tom

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

there are products like softartisans excel writer you can buy, or you can
build it in yourself using a datagrid, javascript and a few months worth of
sweat.

I've checked their web site and as far as I can see is the excel writer.
This tools seems to convert html data/forms to Excel and vice versa. I'm on
the other hand looking for something to create a spreadsheet on the web to
stay there.
