Thanks David, In the clear light of day (this morning) I see the error I was getting seems to be related to cross-domain scripting issues, it was confusing me that I was only getting an issue with Firefox but a Google search suggests that is par for the course and also says a way round it is JSONP
I fear this is all too advanced for me and I will be a lost cause - I suspect I might just have to resort to saving the output from editgrid into a local file on the sever for exhibit to pick up. I can't manage to get just the Exhibit JSON using http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.json?callback=foo I get the complete workbook with all the other spreadsheet data. Looking at your example I don't stand a chance in creating a converter for editgrid - way beyond me. I did manage to use this <link href="http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.js"; type="application/jsonp" rel="exhibit/data" /> but it throws up invalid label error which I presume relates to a converter - but at least the data is being read and not caught up with cross-domain scripting issues. I wish I could contribute but as I say it is beyond me, I hope in the future editgrid might be supported - it is much more powerful than googlespreadsheet particularly with its xml stylesheets... from the same spreadsheet data using different XML stylesheets like http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.ics.xsl all sorts of feeds can be created. I have an iCal feed ( http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.ics) and KML (http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.points.kml ) as well as the exhibit data ( http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.js) all from the same spreadsheet / xml.
