I'm not sure about a none JScript version so, although this is javascript I'll
submit it for what its worth,( uh , whats it worth?$$$)
it appears to me that the line in the index page
remote.opener = self;
says to use that index page for the target.
and the "http://..." in this page is definitly the remote control html
remote.location.href =
The code is copyright but licensed for free according to the shown comments.
And for those that aren't aware, the ^M is a carriage return from creating a
file in DOS and serving it on a UNIX machine or at least having it open with vi
on a unix machine.
The index page at
http://am.appstate.edu/~bennettt/Grandfather/remote/index.html
is shown below. The email link is incorrect. I did this over a year ago to
experiment with remote so it hasn't been updated and my style was much crudeder
than it is today, please forgive. Its only a background picture with the submit
button for the "reomte control"
