More info for the posting below.
The web browser will serve as a front end for an image database (FileMaker,
OpenBase, not sure yet)
The user will be able to search for images
Once an image is located the user needs the ability to click a button that
passes the path of the image to an application for additional processing.
I've tried AppleScript but there is no scripting convention that allows
this.  I thought RB may provide a way to do this as a web plugin, CGI or
something else.  I'm new to coding web pages and just don't know what's
possible.  The system is entirely in-house so I have control over the
environment (where files are located, etc...)

Original Post
I'm building an in-house web-based application.  One of the things the app
needs to do is call a RealBasic application directly from the web browser.
I know this can be done as a link, but the link must also pass a parameter
to the RB app.  I have yet to find a way to do this using basic HTML. Can it
be done?  Is there another way to tackle this issue? Can I write my own web
Plug-In with RB?
