Applets are not what you want really (too much 1997-something).
It would probably be better with a plugin doing python script-handling: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Python">.
And making the DOM accessable from Python-scripts.
It accualy be rather exciting because the object origentation in JavaScript (EMCA) is not at Pythons level.
A bit late, I know... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Python"> Is already possible, within the ActiveScripting framework. This framework separates the DOM from the scripting language, and is used in MS IIS, MS Internet Explorer, MS Windows Scripting Host, and maybe some third-party products. Microsoft's JScript and VBScript both run within this framework. An ActiveScript implementation of Python has been around since 1997, as part of the PythonCOM package (http://www.python.org/windows/win32com/). Unfortunatly, it's not crossplatform. It's solidly stuck on the Wintel platform. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-6254545 Fax: +31-35-6254555 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
