Publish excel on web as interactive html

[Flareman]

Whoops
Back in 2003 I published a couple of interactive excel sheets in web pages. Now I find that neither I nor others can access these. Obviously I'm going to have to research what has changed but if anyone has knowledge to direct my search, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
David

Your link brings up a worksheet that appears to respond to input changes...

In your "What about all that wasted Energy ?" display, you use the phrase, "6,000 kW of energy." That is not technically correct, as kW is a unit of power, not energy.

Thanks for looking, but even I have a problem which I didn't before. I suspect it may have to do with firewalls or my IE settings. (I do automatic upgrades !!)
I guess I'll have to try through another server when I leave the office.
.. and thanks for the constructive comment .. I think !
Intended for the layman, "power" didn't seem like the word to use. I could edit "energy" out altogether and not lose the sense I suppose. I'll get to it later.

No problem... that's the scientist training in me speaking.

I'm using IE6, so that might account for the difference in behavior. I did notice some pages that appeared to be blank, but I wasn't sure whether that was because you were still working on them, or they were otherwise misbehaving.

Huh... The worksheet is completely invisible in both Firefox 2.0 and Chrome. I can see that there is HTML code for generating the entry table and graphs.

I haven't looked at it, but if it was generated by a M$ product, do you really expect it to work with a non-M$ browser? ;-)

 

[Flareman]

Well! No. MS even say that you need IE. But I'm using IE7 on Vista. Previously I had IE6 on XP. Hmm...
I'm now on a different server and still not seeing the excel sheet.
..and.. IE7 isn't even reading the excel on my native page off my own hard drive.
More work ahead...
