Agreed that this isn't the > right list for that though ;-) It might be possible with ASP + ActiveX or something like that, but then your limiting yourself ;) ASP works only fully on Windows servers , while the mono project does a good part of implementing it, it's not perfect yet (neither is the official version from microsoft ;) ).
