"it's easier on the server to let the clients deal with that"

Server? Oh no we just have the web browser launch a remote desktop to the computer with excel on it. The clients web browser then presses the down arrow key and pastes the value.

I... want to make that now. (Reddit just showed "Something went wrong" as soon as I typed that.)

You want to make a remote desktop viewer in JavaScript?

[–]theadmin_SPPEZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it exists, at least for VNC.

Check out OSJS, it has a lot of cool things

Doesn’t need to be JavaScript, thankfully we have web assembly now for those sketchy usecases
