Excel file Wrapped in Elxis

[rentasite]

I uploaded an excel file and i made a menu item (Wrapper). But when someone selects that item from the frontend... the only given possibility is to Download the file. Not to see it wrapped in the Elxis site.

Any solution on that? I cant think anything else right now 

Thanks

Excel files will show in the browser if Microsoft Excel be installed on the visitor's computer...
If a visitor hasn't an installed version of Microsoft Excel so he can't see the file in the browser , and the browser hasn't any another way except bring a download box for him ...
You can put the contents of excel file in a content item ...

I tested this function and YES i have Microsoft Excel installed on my pc. But i got only the download choice.

You can put the contents of excel file in a content item ...

EDIT: The contents of the excel file cannot be imported in a content item. The excel file has a mathematic execution (a simple SUM). I tried to put the contents (saved the excel as html and after that got the code into elxis content item), but the execution didnt work.

Maybe your Ms Excel isn't set to integrate with your browser
This way is not a good to show an excel file to users in the browser ...

I did a quick search for "excel plugin" for firefox / internet explorer. A plugin that can open XLS files. Pity but there is no such thing!

Farhad, tell me that you can open XLS files with your browser and i'll go crazy

I didn't tell to import your contents , there isn't any import way , i mean if your excel file hasn't any math function in it , you can make and show the contents in a HTML format , for example by using Tables ...

Here i attached a screen shot from an opened xls file into the Internet Explorer ...
I got this screen shot from my home PC , but i couldn't do it via my notebook , I think there was a security problem with opening an excel file via browser because i update my windows every time but my PC wasn't updated...

It's better to make a dynamic page if you want an action like an excel file , because it is not a good solution to open an excel file via browser , Also you can't to show or open it via wrapper , wrapper is an IFRAME tag , IFRAME acts like a sub web page inside a web page... You should change your format !

How are you my friend

I would personally add the xls file inside a zip....

Well, the best solution i have came up is this:

1) Create an excel sheet/book and save using "Save as Web Page" together with the option "Add interactivity" selected.
2) Upload to a folder in the Elxis site
3) Create item menu wrapper.
