I am looking to develop a specialized browser plugin that will interface with the local COM port(mainly read input).
I assume this can be easily achieved with ActiveX technology, but want to make sure Firefox/Safari/Chrome browsers (let alone, Linux & Mac OS) don't get left behind.
Which technologies are available that can serve as an alternative?
In specific - is there an open standard technology which can be used across all browsers (kind of like a "standard browser plugin technology") that can communicate over COM?
Can Java be used to communicate with the COM port through all OS's? (even if so, I would only use it as a last resort, hence asking for more references)
Thanks a bunch!
