What is the best way to import or paste Excel
spreadhseets onto one's website? How is it done?

I have tried doing a cut & paste but then I end up with
ots of blank space left at the bottom of my page which I
cannot delete/get rid of. Also the image does not come
out clear.


Is it possible to have an excel spreadsheet that appears
on the web update automatically when I update the figues
on the original spreadhseet saved on my server?

Thanks!

Personally, I copy from Excel, paste into Notepad, copy
from Notepad, paste into FrontPage, convert the data into
an HTML table, and then format the table.

With many precautions and much care, you can treat a
named range of cells as if it were a database table, and
then use the Database Results Wizard to extract and
display data. But frankly, most people who try this
eventually give up. The precautions and care are just too
troublesome.

The more successful route is to develop a database
application entirely in ASP or ASP.NET

1. I carefully drag my cursor from the lowest right cell
to the upper left cell to select exactly what I want to
copy to the web page.

2. Edit > Copy.

3. Open page in FP and Edit > Paste.

4. Select the table in FP and format its colors and size
as needed. See here for sample:
