Editable html table and javascript

In summary, an editable HTML table is a table within a web page that allows users to make changes to the data directly within the table cells. To create one, you will need to use the <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;td&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;input&gt;</code> tags. JavaScript can be used with editable HTML tables to add functionality, and CSS can be used to customize their appearance. There are also tools and libraries available that can make creating editable HTML tables easier, such as jQuery, DataTables, and Handsontable.

Hi,

I would like to provide a tool for some calculation as a html table whose values the user may change and subsequently submit a JS script which uses these values as input. Do you know of some easy to use library to get the data from the table into JS?

Thank you,
DrDu
