RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: A simple example to wrap EnergyPlus into a web-based application?

["Ellis, Peter" <peter_ellis@xxxxxxxx>]

We (at NREL) are working on a simple EnergyPlus web interface, but our application runs the program remotely on a server, not on your desktop machine (which is what it sounds like you want to do).  We have not tried to trigger an EXE or DLL to run on the local desktop, so there are no examples and I'm afraid you are on your own.

	If someone can show us how to wrap EnergyPlus into a web page, i.e., 
	running EnergyPlus by pressing a radio button, that'll be great. Then we 
	can focus on other important functions.
