En la página web Java2s.com he encontrado un detallado ejemplo de como crear una tabla con datos de un archivo CSV:

   body, html {margin:0px; padding: 0px; overflow: hidden;}
  <!-- ActiveWidgets stylesheet and scripts -->

  <!-- grid format -->

    .active-controls-grid {height: 100%; font: menu;}
    .active-column-0 {width:  80px;}
    .active-column-1 {width: 200px; background-color: threedlightshadow;}
    .active-column-2 {text-align: right;}
    .active-column-3 {text-align: right;}
    .active-column-4 {text-align: right;}
    .active-grid-column {border-right: 1px solid threedshadow;}
    .active-grid-row {border-bottom: 1px solid threedlightshadow;}

  //  create ActiveWidgets data model - text-based table
  var table = new Active.Text.Table;

  //  provide data URL - plain text comma-separated file
  table.setURL("gridExamples/data/companies.csv");

  //  start asyncronous data retrieval
  table.request();

  //  define column labels
  var columns = ["Ticker", "Company Name", "Market Cap.", "$ Sales", "Employees"];

  //  create ActiveWidgets Grid javascript object
  var obj = new Active.Controls.Grid;

  //  provide column labels
  obj.setColumnProperty("texts", columns);

  //  provide external model as a grid data source
  obj.setDataModel(table);

  //  write grid html to the page
  document.write(obj);

}
