Display CSV file in HTML

Question

I'm trying to import a local CSV file with headings into a local HTML file, which will then display as a table in a browser.

I haven't been learning HTMLand JavaScript for long, so I don't know a lot about importing and converting. What I need is some advice or possibly a basic script describing the sort of function I need. Explanations and advice are all welcomed!

This is an example of the csv file:

    heading1,heading2,heading3,heading4,heading5
    value1_1,value1_2,value1_3,value1_4,value1_5
    value2_1,value2_2,value2_3,value2_4,value2_5
    value3_1,value3_2,value3_3,value3_4,value3_5
    value4_1,value4_2,value4_3,value4_4,value4_5
    value5_1,value5_2,value5_3,value5_4,value5_5

This is how I'd want to display it:

Answer 1

<div id="CSVTable"></div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//jquerycsvtotable.googlecode.com/files/jquery.csvToTable.js"></script>

<script>
$(function() {
  $('#CSVTable').CSVToTable('your_csv.csv');
});
</script>

you can use jquery.csvToTable.js to display csv file in html
