Spreadsheet info transfer to web page

by AMT Dec 2, 2005 12:32AM PST

Thinking of first web page. Is there any way I could transfer the contents of a spreadsheet, containing names, addresses, dates etc., to a web page? What HTML code would I use. Assume it would have to be in PDF format.

Need very basic help with this!!!

If you are using IE,

then IE will open a normal Excel spreadsheet right into the web page. Just provide an

<a href="my-spreadsheet">My Spreadsheet</a>

link from within the first web page and this will open the spreadsheet into IE.

But the same does not happen to other browsers. With others, Firefox, Netscape, etc, you get the "Download and save" dialogue to save it to your disk.
