Way to determine if button is pressed in browser

[RGould8 at aol.com]

I too, am interested in this code, if you have it handy.   In particular, 
what would the javascript "onclick()" handler look like, and what does the 
"socket-reading" code on the Revolution-side look like?   I've been 
experimenting with open socket routines, and I seem to have problems getting 
it to detect error messages.
