I would like to interface a serial device with a Web browser. I'm familiar with interfacing RS-232/422/485 with microcontrolers and PCs but I haven't got a clue as how I could send the received/interpreted text strings to a browser ... Has anyone used OLE or otherways to enter strings in the URL textbox of IE5 ? I've used OLE before with Office97 to enter stuff directly into an Excel sheet or control a PowerPoint presentation, could the same thing be done with Internet Explorer or Netscape ?
