Well, I am on a Procrustean bed here - Java is not available on one of my target platforms. > In fact, if JavaScript can send the > XML-RPC > you wouldn't need the applet, just get the JavaScript code send the > message > to fetch the parameter from the server once the page is loaded. Hmm, I can do that in JavaScript as soon as I know the port used for the XML-RPC server... > but you > want to pass the port number...

First is to construct the apps opening web-page on the fly in the XML-RPC server before the server instantiates the page. I can generate some custom Javascript in this page that has the port number embedded within it. Then the Javascript can store it in a cookie or pass it on to the next page as a parameter. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
