I have an html page that consists of a table only. The table has
multiple rows and columns. It kinda looks like this:

--------------------------------
|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff| |
--------------------------------
|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff| |
--------------------------------
|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff| |
--------------------------------
|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff| |
--------------------------------
|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff| |
--------------------------------
|stuff|stuff|stuff|stuff| |
--------------------------------


What I want to be able to do is populate each blank
cell with various text and then save the table. The
text is different from cell to cell.

There are no servers available, therefore no CGI scripting.

Any ideas?

You need programming, and HTML isn't a programming language. You might be
able to save the data on your local computer with client-side script using
browser- and operating system-specific code, but you'll need to go to
another newsgroup to learn how to do that--and the chances are that the
browser would be Internet Explorer and the operating system Windows.

Then where is it running?
Where it is running is what determines how it can be done, if it can be done
at all.
This group is mostly focused on the internet ('www.authoring'). Which rather
implies a web server. ;)

MSIE/Windows can use HTA and ActiveX (WSH) to save documents to a PC, but if
this is to be distributed, you need to be aware of the many security risks.

That's not an HTML question, since you're not asking how to write such a
table, but how to programmatically populate it. Since there are no
servers, then this is obviously for offline use only, so you could look
into generating it using some programming or scripting language.

Somehting like Python or Perl, which you should be able to obtain free
interpreters for, on which ever OS you're using, might be suitable.
Then just write the script, create the input and run it to generate the
output file containing the table.

However, the details of how to do that is beyond the scope of this
newsgroup.

Check out http://www.greggriffiths.org/webdev/both/excel/ which does
contain an example similar to your request.
