Hi, I have "disabled" the xml feature for now to go on with my study. I can talk to my smart card on the server side and get the information on the browser. On the browser side, I will, most likely, need to write browsers pluggins as it seem the only way (besides stuff like activeX which does not cover all the necessary platforms :-) to get access to a hardware device from the browser. The current authentication mechanism my cards use requires that data go back and forth a couple of times between the server (master/mother card) and the client (child card). Also the data exchanged, if possible, must not appear on the display. So I need some type of handler that'll allow that "back and forth/hidden exchange". My current assumption is that the two pluggins I will attack: firefox/mozilla and I/E will give me access to Javascript to discuss with mod_python. I know a _little_ about Javascript and it always has to do with writing and reading HTML tags (I'm not even sure that's the correct term) Is there some common mechanism avaialbe ? Is one of the solution to put the data on the page (maybe hidden tags ?). Still there is a need for some type of synchronization between both world. I hope my questions make sense.
