Hi Orri, I've pondered that too, and you're out of luck, I think.

There is a _javascript_/XUL/XBL/XPCOM interface in Mozilla browsers, it's quite low level and messy, and there's an XPCOM/Python interface also, but it's quite beta and hard to use.

You can use Python like PHP or Perl, but it does need to be installed server side. For client-side execution, _javascript_ is the best way to go.

If you want, send me your script that's not working, and I'll see if I can help, _javascript_ is a nasty beast at times. I also know some limited XPCOM stuff, if it would help any.

Regards,


Liam Clarke

Hello all,

I've been trying to use _javascript_ for coding something on a webpage,
and I've just about given up on understanding the intricacies of why a
given script will work now and not in 5 minutes, and why any bit of code
longer than 5 lines doesn't behave as documented.  Therefore, I thought
it would be a smart idea if I could figure out how to somehow replace
the _javascript_ in the html with python.  However, everything I've seen
online seems to require installing something on the server, which I
don't have access to. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Orri
