Getting Handsontable to work with QuickBase
I just downloaded the trials for Handsontable to determine the use vs. cost within our QB apps. Does anyone have experience getting it installed that they would be willing to help me with? I am fami...

This seems like a pretty severe action to take to try to make QuickBase work like excel. At least from my perspective. Thousands of users have moved on from Excel to QuickBase without requiring this sort of control.
However, it is pretty cool at the same time. IOL will work at the table level if you make your IOL field a default field or make sure it is on all your reports.
When you have IOL, you can have it call a code page, which is where you would store the code for this. Not all the features of Handsontable will work though, such as merging cells, though many of the other features would be pretty neat to see in use.
Another thing to consider is to create a push button solution that bypasses the native quickbase all together and presents your data in a 100% controllable environment where you can use the Handsontable software without the QuickBase DOM getting in the way.
If you have strong desires to get this working, have some budget, and need some help with it, contact our team via the info in my profile. While we don't have a handsontable implementation, we do have some of our own homegrown table environments that might also solve the problem. Either way, I am sure we can help.
Good Luck!
