Storing Values in Excel File & calling it in Javascript

[Vem786]

I have a Login Page(login.html) that has a Username & Password text fields. I have a login.js file that verifies the username & length of the password, that I'm calling from the Login.html.

My doubt is as there are 100 users, can I have a excel file loaded with usernames & passwords & call from login.js for verification of the User.

Thanks!!!

not with javascript on a multi browser viewed site.

are you asking this question int he ASP forum in hopes for a server side "ASP" solution?

from what I gather you're doing this all on a client level basis.

I'm a idiot. thought I was in the ASP forum. ermm...

anyhow, still stands on the browsers. vbscript on IE can open a excel file but thats about it.

can you get server interventions

You can access Excel from client-side Javascript using ActiveX objects.

Check out the examples on these pages:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...n-us/script56/html/js56jsobjactivexobject.asp

I'm assuming that it is possible to instantiate a new Excel.Application, use a load() method to load an xls file, and use javascript to loop around the rows/columns comparing data values...

Hope this helps in some way!
