    Hi, after installing and customising the front-end of this plugin, I have 2 possible requests for the next update.

    1. Remove flash. I know there is a backup on mobile and iOS devices – so possibilty to use same javascript for both outputs? Do we need Flash?

    2. Repsosnsive option. I am currently about to start customising some responsive CSS for my spreadhseet which has 8 rows. On mobiles and tablets – my table exceeds the width of the screen so I will work on my solution.

    1. The Flash component is a part of the DataTables’s TableTools extension; removing it means patching the code for that extension.
    2. As of version 0.4.7, very wide tables will scroll horizontally so that they fit within the layout of the page.

    1. OK

    2. Yeah, I don’t think horizontal scroll is nice though, instead, I added responsive CSS which blocks each table cell and groups blocks to allow each row to become it’s own block. Much nicer and user-friendly than scrolling, personally speaking.

    That’s cool, Phil. ??

    Another option you might want to look into, if it makes sense for your use case, is displaying the Google Spreadsheet data you’re embedding as a chart instead of a table, since charts and graphs often take up less space and can be arguably even more meaningful to visitors.

    Use the chart attribute and pass a chart type (like chart="Pie") to visualize your Google Spreadsheet in the form of a chart.
