Call program from within a browser without using a webserver
I see no reason why you can't setup a handler for .py/.bat/.vbs files in your browser. This should result in your chosen application running a script when you link to it. This won't work when you migrate to the server but as a testing platform it would work. Just remember to turn it off when you're done or you expose yourself to viruses from other sites.
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.
