Handsontable is a minimalistic approach to Excel-like table editor in HTML & jQuery. Requires jQuery 1.9+ or 2.0+ (may work with 1.7+ too, but there are known issues with IE10).
Runs in IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
See the demos at http://handsontable.com/ or fork the example on JSFiddle.
First, include all the dependencies. All the files that you need (apart from jQuery) are in the dist\ directory:
<script src="../lib/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="dist/jquery.handsontable.full.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="dist/jquery.handsontable.full.css">Then, run handsontable() constructor on an empty div. After that, load some data if you wish:
<div id="dataTable"></div>
<script>
var data = [
["", "Kia", "Nissan", "Toyota", "Honda"],
["2008", 10, 11, 12, 13],
["2009", 20, 11, 14, 13],
["2010", 30, 15, 12, 13]
];
$("#dataTable").handsontable({
data: data,
startRows: 6,
startCols: 8
});
</script>To see the list of recent changes, see the Changelog wiki page.

Please follow this guidelines when reporting bugs and feature requests:
- Use GitHub Issues board to report bugs and feature requests (not my email address)
- Please always write steps to reporoduce the error. That way I can focus on fixing the bug, not scratching my had how to reproduce it.
- If possible, please add a JSFiddle link that shows the problem (start by forking this fiddle). It saves me much time.
- If you can't reproduce it on JSFiddle, please add a screenshot that shows the problem. JSFiddle is much more appreciated because it lets me start fixing straight away.
Thanks for understanding!
Your contributions to the project are very welcome! To help me merge your pull request, please make sure you follow these points:
- Describe the problem in the Pull Request description (of course you would do it, why do I mention that?)
- Please make your fix on a separate branch. This makes merging much easier.
- Do not edit files
jquery.handsontable.js,jquery.handsontable.css,jquery.handsontable.full.js,jquery.handsontable.full.css. Instead, try to edit files inside thesrc/directory and then usegruntto make a build. More information about this on wiki page Building. - For any change that you make, please try to also add a test case(s) in
tests/jasmine/spec/directory. This helps me understand the issue and make sure that it will stay fixed forever.
Thank you for your commitment!

The table below presents configuration options that are interpreted by handsontable() constructor:
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
data |
array/object/function | [] | Initial data source that will be bound to the data grid by reference (editing data grid alters the data source. See Understanding binding as reference) |
width |
number/function | undefined | Height of the grid. Can be a number or a function that returns a number |
height |
number/function | undefined | Width of the grid. Can be a number or a function that returns a number |
minRows |
number | 0 | Minimum number of rows. At least that many of rows will be created during initialization |

number | 0 | Minimum number of columns. At least that many of columns will be created during initialization |
maxRows |
number | Infinity | Maximum number of rows |
maxCols |
number | Infinity | Maximum number of columns |
startRows |
number | 5 | Initial number of rows. Notice: This option only has effect in Handsontable constructor and only if data is not provided |
startCols |
number | 5 | Initial number of columns. Notice: This option only has effect in Handsontable constructor and only if data is not provided |
rowHeaders |
boolean/array | false | Defines if the row headers (1, 2, 3, ...) should be displayed. You can just set it to true or specify custom a array ["First", "Second", "Third", ...] |

array | undefined | Defines the cell properties and data binding for certain columns. Notice: Using this option sets a fixed number of columns (options startCols, minCols, maxCols will be ignored). See demo/datasources.html for examples |
cells |
function(row, col, prop) |
undefined | Defines the cell properties for given row, col, prop coordinates |
dataSchema |
object | like first row | Defines the structure of a new row when data source is an object. See demo/datasources.html for examples |

I want to stay motivated to keep Handsontable the best possible editable datagrid on the Web. Therefore, I invite you to check out alternative projects. I would love to receive feedback if you would like to import some of their features to Handsontable.
