Pardon my ignorance but I have not had the time to look into HTML in any detail so if my question is non sensible please say so (politely). As the HTML protocol has become a standard and there are many "free" tools around to engineer quick interfaces is it possible to use the HTML tools to create GUI interfaces ? Obviously the local HTML client woould be a cut down mosaic and there would have to be some agreed method of passing messages/data between the HTML interpreter and the back end app. Is this possible or not (please be gentle !!) ?
