Applet giving a result to html page

Hi,

In relation with my previous post, I thought of a plan B. If I can't connect
to an url with an applet, is it possible to let something else doing the
job? For example, I want to send "test" to IP "1.2.3.4". With an ordinary
website, this won't be a problem. The applet is generated inside a normal
website with some parameters and stuff, so, is it possible to let the applet
give something back to it's parent page and let him send it?
1. test.html
2. test.html starts up applet
3. applet does some stuff and generates a string
4. applet is ' finished' (button click or something)
5. test.html receives a string and send it
Would that be possible?

Greetings,
Rick

Unless you need some kind of fancy validation on the client side this
can best be done using a simple HTML form, against a CGI script, PHP,
or whatever on the server side.

(Tip: never trust the client to validate data. You usually have no
control over the client, and a malfunctioning or modified client can
send any type of garbage to your server. A well programmed server app
should always treat any data coming from a client with a healthy degree
of mistrust! :-)

I would like to reinforce fish's tip. A user can just copy the html page,
make changes, and send it to you. Be especially careful about hidden
variables.

Well, I don't have enough time to learn CGI or PHP but I fixed the problem
what was described in the previous post so it's ok now. Anyway, thanks for
help and advice!
