That won't happen because HTML can't manipulate anything. It isn't a programming language.

Can I link the URL enter by the user to some JS file, which can manipulate it. If Yes, then how? sad.gif

I don't think anyone here will write the code for you (I know I won't) but we are happy to help.

The 1st question I would ask is: Where is the data located? On the server or local hard disk (I'm guessing it's on a server)? If it is on a server then you would need a form to submit the data and a script (ASP, PHP, etc...) to manipulate it the way you want.

There are tons of sample forms/scripts that show how to submit data, just use a search engine. If you get stuck on something then post your code here and explain where you need help.

Please see the FAQ entry How do I force the browser to download a file? How do I force the browser to show/play a file itself? How do I force a file to be opened by a particular program?
