Internet Explorer will allow any registered ActiveScript language to be used in a web page. Python qualifies. In the latest Win32 extensions, there is a script in win32comext/axscript/client/pyscript.py that will register Python as an ActiveScript language. The you can say <script language="python"> print "<h1>Hello, there.</h1>" </script> -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
