Firstly, CSV files are not Excel files they are text.

Secondly, linking to a file on the c: drive will not work in a server environment.

Thirdly, to show CSV files in the browser requires some kind of software that the browser understands i.e. a javascript module to be loaded (in the case of IE it will use ActiveX to open Excel if you have it installed), try : GitHub - derekeder/csv-to-html-table: Display any CSV (comma separated values) file as a searchable, filterable, pretty HTML table[^]

Your HTML is broken: a closing <object> tag after the <body> that was never opened.

Meanwhile - I don't use IE - but is there a setting (possibly built-in) that tells it to open a CSV file with Excel? It's really a text file and should be opened as such (by Chrome, FoxPro, etc.).

Let's suppose it were an Excel file: my FireFox opens Excel by downloading it and then opening it with Excel (that is the system's default for xls/xlsx files. If you expand your knowledge to PHP, you can make an ODBC connection to the Excel file and read the date as if it were a database table. Output, then, is then any way you wish, such ans an HTML <table> element
