Call program from within a browser without using a webserver
If you want an an HTML page to have some sort of server-side programming then you will need a webserver of some sort to do the processing.
My suggestion would be to get a web server running on your development box, or try to accomplish what you need to do with a local desktop application or script.
Is there a way to call a program (Python script) from a local HTML page?
I have a YUI-colorpicker on that page and need to send its value to a microcontroller via rs232. (There is other stuff than the picker, so I can't code an application instead of an HTML page.)
Later, this will migrate to a server, but I need a fast and easy solution now.
Thanks.
