How to get excel work sheet into iweb

Question

I searched for the answer to this and found a post that said save it as a web page and insert as a snippet.
Well its not quite that simple. It's a very small budget in excel, about 25 lines 5 columns. I saved as a web page to the desk top and I got one file called budget.htm but when I open it isn't any html that I can insert as a snippet. It is just an excel worksheet.
It also saved a folder called budget_files and in that are 7 files: one is filelist.xml, then sheet001.htm, sheet002.htm, sheet003.htm, sheet004.htm, stylesheet.css and tabstrip.htm
Now there were other sheets in the excel file that i don't want so maybe its sheet001.htm that is the file however when I click on that to try and open it so I can copy the html and insert it to html snippet in iweb a safari page opens up and says it can find the address. Huh? Please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
many thanks,
Susan

Answer 1

There are two ways you can do that:
#1
A - put the budget.htm file on your server where you can link to it.
B - on the web page add an HTML snippet with the folloiwng code:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="URL TO BUDGET.HTM FILE"></iframe>
Set the width and height, in pixels, so that the snippet will display the entire table.
#2
A - open the budget.htm file with a text editor and copy all of the code.
B - add an HTML snippet to the iWeb page and paste the code into the snippet.
An example of both methods are near the bottom of this demo page: Tables.
With method 1, you can edit or change the table without having to use iWeb. Just replace the budget.htm file with the new and improved version on the server. That will automatically be seen in the published site.
