Please go to my web page and see what I'm trying to do:

http://3d-triangulation-calculator.bravehost.com/

The user enters 12 values into the Input form fields, clicks on "Calculate" 
and the page displays the answer as 6 values in the Output table.

It doesn't do that yet, but it is what I'd like it to do.

The Input values need to automatically enter into D24:F26 and I24:K24 of the 
embedded spreadsheet.  The spreadsheet equations (long and complex) 
calculate the solution and are automatically entered in the Output table 
from D28:F29 on the embedded spreadsheet.

The embedded spreadsheet displayed on the page is a ZOHO spreadsheet linked 
from its site.  Below this are two links to the same spreadsheet in Excel 97 
and Open Office Calc.  Below that are the actual equations used in the 
spreadsheet calculations.

Can anyone help me put this together?  I have been told that there are java 
script programs that already do this.  Can I adapt one for this?  Do I have 
to have the spreadsheet on the server?  I only know a little Borland C++ and 
Microsoft Visual C++.  Is there a tutorial where I can learn javascript for 
this application?  Where can I find an editor/compiler/debugger for 
Javascript?
