When I was facing a similar problem--sharing a platform neutral
program--I also turned to Javascript. In my case, we wanted a lottery
number picker that could be projected from anyone's laptop during a

(attached) that could be simply opened from the filesystem in any
browser. Normally I would put the Javascript and CSS is separate
files, but it's all embedded in HTML to make the whole thing
self-contained.
