Byron, After reading your initial post, it seems you want to open a Tk
window through a Webbrowser?  Is that correct.  If so, I don't think Tk is
(or was ever) intended for that purpose.  Though, I could be very wrong.

Am I understanding your need properly?

If you are wanting to 'put a file on the network', I assume you will want to
create an application like Jack said.

Tk running on Windows does not require the X-window software.
