    Hi everybody!
    I'm looking for some guidance on how to make (or even better, find an already made one) a type of spreadsheet script for my website. I would assume javascript would be the way to go (or possible a java applet). If there are already some out there, then I would want be able to customize it a lot and add dozens of new features which I could do myself (im a capable javascript programmer). Thanks in advance, and help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    What exactly are you expecting the script to do?

    I would mainly use it for allowing users to input values and calculate certain things (averages, graphs possibly). I would then want to save the data in a database.

    You may want to look at a product like Spreadsheet Converter, and use their "Send button" idea to send the data to the server. Writing a spreadsheet in Javascript is about the definition of non-trivial.
