HTML Form to collect data & store in Excel file...is it possible...?

[PP3321]

I asked this question on how to collect data using Excel
http://forum.chandoo.org/threads/data-collection-using-excel-what-is-the-best-way.29575/#post-176856

But I thought, why not use local HTML form?

I read somewhere that we can use localStorage to save data in the browser, and export data.

If anyone has good resources or experiences, could you please share...?

*For this I am not thinking about using web-server.
I have basic knowledge of HTML & JavaScript.
I want to do it all locally...

It's probably easiest to do it on server side using PHP or other language to export/append to csv.
See this thread for example. Seems like something similar to what you are looking for.

I'm not familiar with it, but there seems to be a way to output html to Excel. See last post in the link.

But, it may be easier to utilize Google form etc with built-in functionality. It's pretty easy to customize (embed Google form elements) into custom web page if needed.
