Read Excel contents w/o ActiveX

127 100+
I'm wanting to populate a drop-down based on the contents of one column in an Excel file, and then submit the file to a PHP script.

I've gotten PHP to read and process the Excel file fine (phpexcelreader - excellent, but poor documentation), but I can't find any JavaScript scripts which can read Excel files w/o using ActiveX. I believe ActiveX only runs on IE in Windows - is there another alternative?

Thanks!

without ActiveX and IE you cannot read in an excel-file ... javascript alone cannot do that ... you may upload the file to the server and read it there

kind regards
