i'm still very new to QC but it seems to me that one option is to have your web page submit the user's action to a web server. QC could poll that server for an XML file. it's asynchronous and wouldn't work if the interface changes were to happen immediately.

although.. if the web server that i mentioned is on the same machine where the QC composition is running, the server-side script could send a UDP message to QC (instead of storing it as XML and waiting for QC to request it). still potentially slow, but the polling part of the original proposal is gone.

I try to use Safari to control (or send arguments) to QC. Can this be done?
Either through UDP or maybe OSC.
Another approach would be a built in web server in QC which extracts parameters from the URL ( http://255.0.0.0:12345?arg1=abc&arg2=def )

ideally i would like a simple javascript call in the browser to send a string to QC
        
I came across this site: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~lchen/software/java/udping/
a java applet which is able to send and receive UDP packets, but was not able to get it going on my machine by changing the server and port to my local machine and recompile it with JAVAC.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
