I am wondering if there is a jQuery plugin that allows the developer to apply and obtain function results by using page elements as individual "cells".
In order to understand what I am talking about, consider a spreadsheet application such as msft Excel. In a typical spreadsheet, you can specify functions that operate on a specific range of cells: =SUM(A1:A3) *return the sum of cells a1 through a3 What I'd like to know if someone has worked on a plugin that allows you to do the same thing with arbitrary elements in a page: <div class="cellA1">1</div><div class="cellA2">2</div><div class="cellA3">3</div> <div class="cellA4" cellval="SUM(A1:A3)"></div> Upon running the "recalculate" method, the text of the last div would be set to the appropriate value. Has anyone done anything like this?
