Pictures
Insert a picture in the spreadsheet and it will turn up on the web page.
Submit
Built-in submit functionality out of the box. All collected data is sent to you by email. (Note: A temporary solution is used in beta 1, so the data is sent as an unformatted email. Data as spreadsheet files and HTML-tables is slightly delayed.)
Multi-sheet web page
If you want to show more than one sheet, SpreadsheetConverter generates tabs for easy switching between them.
New buttons: Reset and Print
Reset resets the fields to their initial values, and Print prints the form.
Multi-line input boxes and list boxes supported
Single-line, multi-line input boxes, list boxes, checkboxes and dropdown lists are supported. Option button not yet supported (probably version 3.1).
Example 1
Click here to open web page that shows the new features.
At the top, you see the toolbar with the update, reset, submit and print buttons. RESET will restore the field values to their original state, SUBMIT will send the contents of the spreadsheet to an email address (currently to us at SpreadsheetConverter), PRINT will print the current tab without the toolbar and the tabs.
Below the toolbar you have the tabs. Click on Comments to select that tab. The operations is immediate, since all tabs are downloaded into your browser.
Next, you see a simple image of a car that has was inserted into the spreadsheet. SpreadsheetConverter makes it part of the web page.
If you select the Comments tab, you see an example of a multiline input field.
