Java Script Page But Excel Database?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 21.2009

Hi,

This may be a stupid question but I was wondering if someone could help me out. What I am wanting to do is create a basic web page using html, css and javascript. But what I want to know is there a way I can save information that is entered into that webpage. Normally I guess you would have a data base like SQL etc to store data and then use scripts to save information to the database and retrive it. What I want to know is, is there a way to use Javascript to use Excel as a database to save and retrive data entered into the webpage? If so any assistance on how this can be done? Thanks.

Doesn't that only work for the local hard drive, not the server ?

if the server is on a folder path, it will work like a local file.

if it's http only, you will probably need some other microsoft product to assist.
