The vizhtml module provides three types of functionality:
Displaying an HTML form in an embedded HTML window and collecting data from it.
Collecting data from HTML forms submitted from remote browsers on the local network.
Real time bidirectional communication with remote browsers using WebSockets.
HTML forms are commonly used to pass data from a browser to a web server. Data is entered through input fields (e.g. text fields, check boxes, radio buttons) and submitted with a button click. The vizhtml module supports collecting data from HTML forms displayed in the Vizard graphics window and within a remote browser on the local network.
WebSockets are a new technology, so you will need a browser that supports it. Using vizhtml's support for WebSocket communication, data can be sent back and forth between Vizard and a browser. For example, someone could get information about a running Vizard program through a web page and simultaneously send feedback or instructions to the user.
