Can js do it?

[lovepython]

I want to know if js can be used to for a form to check an xls or csv or the sort to match data entered in the form. example for login form, so the script would access the file to match if the data entered in the form field matches that in the file and if so load the target html file.

I had looked at those in my searching but it seemed to be geared towards open and editing a file. Not sure if that can be converted to checking columns for data.

Sounds like yu need the js to check the spreadsheet then give access to the html page if a particular entry is found in the spreadsheet. hmmm? Only thing i could find thus far is how to create a spreadsheet via js.
