How to embed excel file in HTML to be viewed inside it?

[royboy75]

Hello,

I have an excel file that I would like to embed inside html so when the user browses to this html he sees the excel file's content inside the page using the browser's excel built in plug-in. How can I do that?

If you browse to an excel file in web sites you can open it inside the browser. IE has that...

Hi

For example Yahoo! displays the content of Excel files using Outside In. Personally I never wanted more from a web page.

Hi

Just because Explorer displays Excel files does not mean it has a plug-in for that. It simply uses the Office libraries.

This will only work in IE and only if the user's system is set up to do it that way.

There is nothing more to do, it's purely an IE thing since IE and Excel are sister products.

I think I wasn't clear enough, my aplogogies Feherke.
Anyway, yes, when you browse to excel filre on a web server it asks whether you want to download or open it. If you choose open you see inside the web browser.
I wouls like to skip that question and open it immidiately.
Now, of course I can do it in the client but I want to do it in the html itself
