_gail Posts: 2876 From: So FL Status: offline	Getting Excel Spreadsheet to work in web page - 11/29/2004 14:28:33 I have a small excel spreadsheet, which someone made to calculate the correct exposure when photographing various scenes. It has two drop down menus: one for f-stops and one for ISO. When you click on either or both of the menus, and make a selection, information in a table below changes accordingly. I'd like to be able to put the exposure calculator in a web page, but when I do the dropdown menus stop functioning. No matter how I save or imbed the file in a page, it doesn't work. Any suggestions? thanks, gail _____________________________ Digicamhelp - Easiest place on the web to learn about Digit@l Cameras & Photography

I'll watch this space though as I'd be interested to see the solution and the page when it's finished.

Yes, I've tried inserting as well as pasting. It ends up a mess. I can insert a spreadsheet as a web component, but it is blank and I'd have to build the calculator from scratch, which I have no desire to do even if I knew how. I don't. If you want to take a look, you can download it from this page: http://www.digicamhelp.com/calculator.htm gail _____________________________ Digicamhelp - Easiest place on the web to learn about Digit@l Cameras & Photography (in reply to BobbyDouglas)

Ok no I didn't figure out a way. I am pretty sure you would need some type of extra plug-in to do what you want.

Basically you have a drop down in excel using another sheet's data.

I would just manually do this by continuing where I left off.

Perhaps you can work something out with the person at this site. _____________________________ Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said, "I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them"?

Well, then I'll just keep it as a download. The person is going to send me one for a Palm, too. Boy, that link brings you to a nice one!! I'll just post a link to it at the site.
