When you display a spreadsheet created in Excel on a web page you are using
the MS Spreadsheet Component, not Excel. You are limited to the SS
Component's feature set rather than Excel's and the SS Component is very
limited in comparison. It doesn't support either validation or on-sheet
controls I'm afraid.
