It has a free option, and a great community online for figuring things out.<br /><br />http://www.tableausoftware.com/public/<br /><br />I've been using it for ~year, and it's pretty impressive. With the free version, you can publish your visuals online and link them to your website. The paid version allows for more security with the data, but that may not be important if you are dealing with public data.Geoff Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335872605196107867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-14409259450458148562012-11-28T12:07:37.095-08:002012-11-28T12:07:37.095-08:00Zoho is also an option:

Browser-only code has to be JavaScript. Unfortunately I don't know of any offhand. Something like 'javascript spreadsheet' is what you'd probably want to look for. But, how much control do you have over your page anyway? /Can/ you embed arbitrary html + [script][/script] stuff? I'm thinking actually, that most of what you'll find will be organized into a few separate files, and thus require that you have access to the server itself (again) - you probably won't find JS organized so as to fit right on a single page, between [script] tags. (substitute square brackets for angle ones - blogger won't let me post the real thing). But y'know, server space isn't that expensive, < $10 month. But, probably the /work/ is more than you want to get involved in. Still I'm sure you have technically astute readers - put out a call, perhaps.I'm your only friend I'm not your only friendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-62419357633994660372012-11-27T21:32:01.121-08:002012-11-27T21:32:01.121-08:00Wolfram alpha has a fairly easy-to-use widget syst...Wolfram alpha has a fairly easy-to-use widget system.
