We conclude our Spotlight on Developers series with a look at Google Web Elements for spreadsheets and presentations.
At Google I/O, the concept of "copy/paste development" was introduced in the form of Google Web Elements. For Google spreadsheets and presentations, these web elements offer a quick way to get a snippet of code that allows you to embed your document anywhere on the web.
First you'll need to publish your spreadsheet, then you can go to the Spreadsheets Elements page to enter in the published URL, the size of the element you'd like and the range of data you are interested in displaying, and "voila!", the snippet is there for you to copy and paste into any webpage. Here's an example spreadsheet:
You can do this with published presentations as well. After you publish your presentation, you can go to the Presentations Elements page to enter the published URL and the size of the element you'd like. Get the snippet of code and paste in into any webpage.
While you're on the Google Web Elements page, be sure to check out the other Google products that you can embed into your website.

Both look useful, the spreadsheets one more so than the presentations. I can't wait to see the big changes later on this year.
I'm probably missing something here but how is this different to the existing embed feature?
The spreadsheets feature is different, but I think the presentations one is the same.
I know this is the wrong place to ask but I'm not getting any reply in the help forums for a problem I am experiencing with a form/spreadsheet I have created using Google Docs....
You can read about it here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Docs/thread?tid=0129ec0886a83de9&hl=en
Could you please give me some information back at that forum? I am unable to access the information I need from the file.
