[JDEV] NOW AVAILABLE... Jabber Web-Pager App(lette)?

[Al Sutton]

Michael (& everyone else),

I've put together a quick demo of how this could work, the web page is at 
http://www.alsutton.com/jabberpager/

The demo sends messages to me, but if you download that page and alter the line

<input type="hidden" name="dest" value="al at alsutton.com">

to be

<input type="hidden" name="dest" value="ANY_JID_HERE">

you can then use your modified page to send messages to ANY_JID_HERE.

Comments welcome, better documentation to come....

Al.
