I need to post some xls files on a website in a simple html format. Does anyone know of a good file converter... or even better, one that would FTP it to the webspace as well :p

EDIT: The m$ exported files are full of junk code. I was looking for something simple and clean...

Yeah, Excel has it built in. And if you don't have Excel, OpenOffice can do it.

That gives you .mhtml

No it doesn't. By default it saves as a Web page (.htm, .html). It only saves in .mhtml if you save it as a Single File Web Page

Then just do a File->Save as-> select webpage (html, htm) and that should work.

So just open the HTML in Notepad and delete everything above and below the table code. Add <html> and <body> tags as necessary. That gets rid of most of the clutter.

Does he have Dreamweaver or anything? Most HTML editors let you copy-paste from Excel to create tables (w/o all the junk code).

Hm. If he has Excel, he probably has FrontPage, right? That should do it (though it might add some junk code).

Don't think they have the full office package and i'm sure frontpage is almost as bad... really i was looking for recommendations from ppl that have looked into something like this before.

It's works to an extent... the main problem is that is exports all of those *nifty* properties from excel files that can be considered proprietary information...

Just save the files as .txt and upload them.

Assuming the format will always be the same, just hire a someone to code a simple program (prolly web-based?) to spit some HTML tags to format the CSV file.
