There have been a few attempts at making it possible to program a web
browser using Python. In fact, one is being discussed and developed
right now - search the list archives for Brython. But normally, the
way to script a user's browser is to use JavaScript. I'm not sure how
IronPython fits into your picture; it's an implementation of Python
that uses the .NET framework.
Unless you have a very good reason for wanting to use Python (eg you
want to share code with another Python project), I strongly recommend
learning JavaScript. What you're looking to do is fairly simple, and
not worth downloading to the user's browser a massive language engine
- because that's how systems like Brython work. Keep it simple, learn
a few languages, and you'll become a better programmer for it :)
