Can javascript be used to send a message to a port? If so, the Rev app could be set to listen to that port, and receive messages from the browser.

Well, if you are using a "normal" browser, the only thing I can think of is to have the button in the web page call a CGI which stores some information and have a front-end Rev app query the CGI periodically to see if it is received the "call" from the browser. However, if you want to *embed* the browser into a Rev stack using Chipp's altBrowser, you could do this by creating a "fake" url to go to, which altBrowser can trap and you can take action based on it. There may be other ways, but those are the only ones I've thought of so far.
