why not pre process everything on a web server and send to prop in binary format?
I have writen many aplications where my web server will download another web site and parse it. If you did it that way you would just need to send a get request to

What I'm hoping to achieve is to provide a stand-alone interface for a micro-controller over a serial port. Requiring a network connection would not be desirable. It is however an interesting idea for solutions that already have some network dependency.
First, Today is Independence Day in the US, so all my Propeller
activities are officially on hold until tomorrow after this post.
Happy 4th of July weekend!
I wanted to share a little progress on the HTML Terminal.
I'm not posting code because it is still immature and I may end up
trying to sell a solution as a non open-source hardware accessory.
I haven't really decided on licensing yet ... we'll see.
Still, I thought you might like to see what I have working so far.
The parser is now handling pages like this: www.brouhaha.com/~sdenson/PhtmlTerminal/test1.html
Still more work to do as the parser/renderer still needs some refinements.
Caveats mentioned before still apply.

my server could then return the page you want in a more prop friendly format.

Lots of propeller based products in stock at affordable prices.
Is that a link that's supposed to be functional right now? (It wasn't.)

Open this link: www.brouhaha.com/~sdenson/PhtmlTerminal/test.html
I'll add test pages as new features are added.
This is functional with the 1280x1024 VGA text driver.
The caveats in the Propeller version are:
- Blue background is Navy and text color is Cyan just like driver default.
- Specifying bgcolor=black gives Red text on Black background
- The Headings are all the same size as the driver is just text mode.
- There are no scroll bars available and a page that's too big scrolls up.
- The title if specified in the HTML is printed on the first line in Gray/White.
- There is no serial port attachment yet.
It has taken longer than I would like to get to this point.Now it's just a matter of adding tag handlers.
I still have about 10KB of code space left in Propeller HUB.
Dealing with mouse/keyboard/touchscreen events is TBD.
My plan is to implement the Compact HTML DTD specification.
The DTD does not have input buttons, so I'll add that and others.
Cheers and Happy 4th!,
