Online web page -> Excel -->Online web page stellar example

The best job of getting Excel tables and graphics into Html and jpeg format presentation on the web that I could find, is at:

http://www.angelfire.com/ma/vincemoon/templeate.html

The templeate.html table is a combination of two different data sources, the annual cpi and also the annual dollar index, that were imported into Excel from online web pages, and combined in Excel, with a graphic of the combination produced in Excel. This Excel output was then with difficulty with Google spreadsheets playing an important role, turned into the output you see at http://www.angelfire.com/ma/vincemoon/templeate.html.

In second place, I count http://www.angelfire.com/ma/vincemoon/nvu_exp_excel.html. This page is the same as the templeate.html, except that Google Spreadsheet's server-side participation in the process of producing the web version of the original Excel table-chart combo has been replaced by the free client-side Nvu HTML editor; and the data for all of the tables is contained in one pagein nvu_exp_excel.html as opposed to the container page featuring 3 iframes each with a page in it, for a total of 4 pages, that is used in the templeate.html.

The templeate.html method using the Google Spreadsheets as a step in the process, has advantage over the method using the Nvu, in that Google Spreadsheets preserves the text and background color and style in the original Excel xls file whereas Nvu does not. But the method involving the Google spreadsheets, involves four web pages where as the Nvu method involves only one.
