Although great standards like (X)HTML and CSS defined by W3C already work smoothly on the Web, we still find them a little bit insufficient for presenting effectively graphical and tabular data, which is common with such as statistical and analytical information.

Tables are natively supported by HTML, but they are far from being convenient for non-technical people to use; charts are not easy either — most probably you’ll have to extract a chart from your desktop spreadsheet application, save it as an image file and upload it to somewhere before you can really display it on your web page. Worst of all, the tables and charts are static.

We therefore make EditGrid best for publishing live tables and charts. Charts for stock analysis can now be generated dynamically from real time data, and you get 30+ different kinds of useful charts to choose. Neat and tidy statistical tables can be embedded in your online experiment report, or you can update scores in your online tournament tables directly from your EditGrid spreadsheet. All you need to do is just getting a permalink for a chart, and copying and pasting a piece of readily available code for a table.

What if you’ve already drawn up a nice illustration and would like to post it on EditGrid? We also support inserting custom (static) images into EditGrid spreadsheets. Simply paste your link and everything is done! (Question: What if you’d like to insert a dynamic image that depends on parameters and, better still, these parameters are on your EditGrid spreadsheets? Watch this space :P)

We believe sooner or later you will find more tables and charts on the Internet. They are live, and generated by EditGrid.
