We know how bad office is at making html files, so I started writing an excel -> html converter. Want to try it?

This is version alpha 1 of my excel to html converter. It won't create any wierd extra files or MS specific code.

Here's a link (about 500k)

it's a command line app, the syntax for using it is like this: excelconvert inputfile outputfile

or, for example: "excelconvert myexcelfile.xls newwebpage.html"

It will create the html file and then exit.

Hmm... the only reason I'd use the Word converter to HTML is if someone asks me to post their doc on our intranet site. So instead of re-writing it into HTML, I just convert it thru MS Word. I must admit I hate all that extra/XML crap thrown in there.

I think there'd be a nice demand for a re-written Word converter.

Getting -->

Can't call method "Value" on an undefined value at (path) line 24.

Both your .exe and my .xls are in the same directory and run from Command Prompt. I ran "excelconvert myFile.xls mypage.html".

rh71, take the space out of hte filename.

hmm, dammit, errors are bad. Is your excel document blank? I'll look at it some more (I did say it was alpha).

There are no spaces in the filenames I used. That's the syntax as stated also...

Notfred, didn't you at least test it yourself? My .xls file is not blank.
