upload data from excel to sharepoint list using jquery

Question

I want to upload data from a excel to a sharepoint list. The structure of the excel and the list are same.

The user will enter the data in the excel and then give the path of the file in the input box present in the page. Now instead of uploading the whole excel file into a document library the code will read the file and update the list with the data present in the excel file. I am using JQuery in my page.

Take a look at SPServices to help with this. I have no idea how you are managing to use jQuery in an Excel spreadsheet, but if you've really solved that part, then maybe SPServices can help with the actual writes.

Is there any reason you aren't simply using the Office capabilitiy to publish to SharePoint directly?
