Thanks, between that snippet and a the link from Mark S. I've managed to bodge something together here:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0fe8827db322790def01 IP: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/host" tag="input" type="text" /> Port: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/port" tag="input" type="text" /> <$ajaxButton message="ed-ajax" class="ed-ajaxButton" param= "http://{{$:/temp/host}}:{{$:/temp/port}}/state"; set="$:/ed/ajaxResult">Get state</$ajaxButton> <html><pre>{{$:/ed/ajaxResult}}</pre></html> And a little custom style to add a little "JS" badge to the buttons: .ed-ajaxButton:after { content: "JS"; background-color: #fc0; padding: 4px; border: 1px solid #930; margin-left: 8px; } It's a little clunky but seems to get the job done.
