I would like to do something just slightly different, though. I would like the embed code to pick up the revlet's URL from server variables ($HTTP_HOST & $REQUEST_URI), not from a fixed path. I see now that this would require the revlet to be running from a webserver, not a file server, but I can handle that issue. I haven't tried this approach yet, but recent posts suggest it's possible.
In that case you are talking about generating your web page dynamically. You need a way to do that (which is something different than revlets, it's HTML.) You can use an old-style Rev CGI, or better, an iRev page if you are on the On-Rev server. Or you can use PHP or another language that can generate web pages on the fly.
I would also like not to have to replace the html page after it is created by the IDE, but to pre-create it (hmmm - sounds sort of god-like) in the location the IDE uses to store its template. I don't know if that's possible, but it would streamline the process.
As Mark said, there isn't a way to intercept the original creation of the HTML test page, but you could write a little script that replaces the existing one with your custom one after the fact. What I do is just alter the test page once, and then after every new revlet build I just drop the new revlet into the permanent folder with my altered HTML page, replacing the old revlet. It's pretty easy.
