Anyone know of any website with this effect?

I'm wondering if any of you guys know of a website, or page, that features a MS Excel-like effect in that there's a series of cells that you can click and highlight or click in one and then drag to highlight the others.

I'm working on a web app and the client would like this sort of behavior but I'd like to see if it is possible (well, I'm sure it is) and what sort of technologies I'd have to use to achieve this effect.

Thanks for any help.

Looking for a web site that has boobies you can click and drag, kind of like Excel. Anyone know?

Check out http://jqueryui.com/ (they might have something, not sure...)

Perhaps also the YAHOO Javascript framework?

I've used some jQuery in the past in personal and business projects but haven't gotten into the UI part of it yet.

I tried out the Selectable demo and man, that is pretty dang close to what I'm looking for. Thanks man!

Hopefully I can find a way to tell which elements were selected on postback (I'm working with ASP.NET). The GUI effect is what I need but the key is to be able to tell which were selected so I can do process them in code.
