Need to import tables from Excel or other sources?
FCC.TableImport allows the import of text representation of tabular data - be it comma separated values or tab separated copy-paste from Microsoft Excel.
Instructions
To use the FCC.TableImport you need:
- a valid XHTML document,
- a form with a textarea in this document
- the following javascripts: json.js* and fcc.tableimport.js
When you're set up you need to call FCC.TableImport.convert(text) to convert the text to a JSON representation.
The script sports two other conversion functions - to an HTML table and to a fieldset of hidden input elements that can be used to submit data to a server. More about these in the demo.
* json.js is taken from http://www.json.org/js.html. Author is presumably Douglas Crockford.
Demo
Check the demo to see how the conversion can easily be implemented.
