(semi-)migrating to google spreadsheets

[Dictum Mortuum]

So, a very good guy has made tabletop.js, which draws data from google spreadsheets. Then using javascript, an html page is generated dynamically, based on the data stored there.

The end result is this: http://dictummortuum.droppages.com/testing

The pages may end being a little slower, but it's still fast enough when I tested it.

The reason for doing such a thing is to have a clean html file in order to edit them easier. For example, the html file in the above page, without counting the javascript code, is this:

Code: [Select]

<div id="page-wrap">
<div class="info-col">

<p id="catpicker"><a href="#" id="allcat" class="curr">All</a> | <a href="#" id="red" class="filter">Bad</a> | <a href="#" id="black" class="filter">Average</a> | <a href="#" id="blue" class="filter">Good</a> | <a href="#" id="navy" class="filter">Perfect</a></p>

<p id="indexlinks"><a href="#general">General Feats</a> | <a href="#spellsgeneral">General Spell Feats</a> | <a href="#summoning">Summoning Feats</a> | <a href="#martial">Martial Study/Martial Stance</a></p>
<h1>Paladin Guide</h1>

Moreover, I'm planning to revive CubeKnight's critter database using google spreadsheets. It will be a LOT slower, since it will not be a regular database (unfortunately I can't host it anywhere), but it's better to have the functionality than not.

Tell me what you think

I like it; is there any way that you can include the write-ups for each component? (I.e., why a given race is bad, and so on and so forth.)

EDIT: If no-one is adverse, I might do the above with the Soulmeld handbook.

Also, there's a "drop everything down" function if you press the "Paladin Guide" header. It might require that you press it twice the first time, I need to fix that.
