Re: Way to determine if button is pressed in browser

[RGould8]

I too, am interested in this code, if you have it handy.  In particular, what would the _javascript_ "onclick()" handler look like, and what does the "socket-reading" code on the Revolution-side look like?  I've been experimenting with open socket routines, and I seem to have problems getting it to detect error messages.

Gary -- this sounds like a very useful thing (to me anyway).� Would it be
possible to share your script with the list?
