How to make a web page that shows/acts like an Excel sheet?

One of the off-topic posts made me decide to post this.

Does anyone know how to make a webpage that will look and act like an Excel spreadsheet?

I have a file with one page that a user selects data from a drop-down list in a cell and the other cells will do a vlookup on that selection to get their information from that line on another sheet. I'd like to translate that into a webpage that could be used on a server.

I've tried Frontpage, but, don't know the proper way to do it. If someone knows of another program that will help me achieve that, I'd appreciate the suggestion.

Thanks,

Sounds like you need some client side Javascript and a whole lot of input fields. I don't think you'll find visual (WYSIWYG) editor that can create this. Well, maybe the input field layout, but that's it. The lookup functions will have to be coded in Javascript.

Of course, you could just create an excel spreadsheet and have the web site user open that in the browser. Of course, they need Excel localy installed on their computer for this to work. ;)
