Embed Interactive Excel Spreadsheets Into Website - html

Been searching online for best ways to embed interactive spreadsheets into my website. My users primarily use MS Excel and it would be great if they could post their spreadsheets into our CMS with the following features (maybe I'm asking for too much!):
Has a read-only mode.
Easy to import.
Formats and links are kept.
Has Excel functionality such as sorting, filtering, etc.
Supports Excel plugins.
Can embed into a WYSIWYG editor, especially TinyMCE.
I keep coming across Zoho Sheets, but was wondering if the wise members of StackOverflow have come across anything better.
Cheers!

Have you considered using a JQuery solution? It's free and opensource. Check out: http://visop-dev.com/Project+jQuery.sheet

Is there a way to use hyperlink from within draw.io - offline desktop app

Is there a way to include a hyperlink from the text in one of the draw.io objects? This would help to link from the diagram to relevant Confluence pages.
Using "Edit->Edit Link" works only by inserting a URL. I would like to open another saved xml.
I tried to use the Draw.io add-on (the cloud version is free) from the Confluence Marketplace for about 2 or 3 days in the last 2 weeks and added a few flowcharts where certain chart steps were linking to how-to articles in Confluence and the flowchart itself was used in the troubleshooting pages. I can't remember exactly how I added the links into the diagrams but as I can remember there was an "insert link" feature which can be used on certain selected diagram objects.
I wasn't happy with draw.io's visualization methods and their feature-set was very limited. Nowadays I'm evaluating Lucidcharts and it looks very promising. Their linking process is a bit different than draw.io which is a little bit cumbersome but they deliver much more feats in a much more powerful visualization. (And yes their Confluence cloud add-on is not free!)

MS Access 2007 Visual display of events

I am currently working on a database that contains two tables: tblAuthor and tblBooks. I am looking for a way to generate a timline look with a strong visual emphasis. I do not know all the possible oulets for creating reports in Access and any advice (including give up this isn't possible) would be welcome. I am hoping to format it similarly to a Gantt chart.
If there is anyway of doing this, or if you have any other suggestions please let me know!!
I work for a company that develops Gantt chart controls. We still develop, maintain and support an ActiveX Edition, which seamlessly integrates into Access. Here is an overview of some key features of the general control:

If these features do what you want your Gantt to do, then you can download a free trial version from our website. You then should also download the samples collection as this also will provide you with an example of how to directly embed the control into Access. However, make sure that you download the ActiveX version (you have to register first before downloading): http://www.netronic.com/gantt/gantt-software/free-gantt-chart.html
Hope this helps. If you have questions, please send an email to support#netronic.de, and mention the stackoverflow post from Martin. Good luck with your project :-)

word or pdf to hosted HTML5 forms?

Is there a good hosted service out there that allows users to import either word docs or pdf's that can be converted into html5 forms. There are plenty of hosted html5 form builders out there, but I'm not having much luck finding anything that allows for a simple import of these standard formats. I have hundreds of pages to convert into digital forms, and would prefer to not have to rebuild each page from scratch.
I believe Crocodoc may be what you're looking for.

Offline Word Processor / WYSIWYG Editor for non-HTML savvy users

Due to a new web site and CMS system, I'm dealing with multiple users making content changes to our site. Many of them are trying to copy and paste content from MS Word and other Office products which, as any web developer knows, is a nightmare.
What I'm looking for is a simple offline Word Processor or WYSIWYG editor that I can ask people to use instead of Word in cases where they aren't going to be composing their changes directly on our site.
Basic requirements:
It should be simple to use. I do not need any advanced features. Basically just a word processor that generates valid HTML.
Freeware or open source would be nice
It would be a bonus if it also had a "paste-from-Word" feature
I am not looking for a MS Office replacement as that will never get approved. I need a supplemental editor for our web content editors.
Our environment is mostly Windows Vista/7, though we do have a small base of Mac users as well.
Based on my searches, the most frequent answer I see is NVU, but quite honestly that is too complex for my users since I don't need a whole site editor, file manager, or web publishing software - just the ability to create/edit simple HTML documents.
Yes, I know this technically isn't a programming question, but I'm sure it is relevant to a lot of programmers and web developers.
You can open a WYSIWYG from a local html file. If you don't want to do this through the normal browser, you can do it through an embedded web browser in your application. Check Qt, its a framework that can show web pages (local ones too) using WebKit.

We have a intranet that we have lots of html pages and attachments (.doc, .xls, etc) and we are looking to migrating this to confluence WIKI. Doesn't anyone know of any script or anything that can be used to automate this process as we dont want to do it by hand ideally.
did you check How can I import HTML pages? in the confluence importing faq? there are some options, including a Data Conversion Service company specialised in converting large websites into Confluence. good luck!
This online tool knows a lot of wiki syntaxes.
