Browser 2 USB Test

I was looking into ways to connect a webpage to the USB port. This is a test page with very little effort and no crash prevention on out of bounds errors. Can someone see if they can produce the same results I see, which is the data in LED flashing on a Prop board when sending data. I have no idea if this has any value for anything, but it was the first step I came up with towards connecting a browser. I use Firefox on Win8. 9600 baud. I do not know if it is possible to send a binary in hex, I can write a string only at this point.
My first goal is to hopefully upload a software update on my own server as a html page, send that link to an installer and have them update the binary from the browser. Most likely at first this will be a packet transfer with management on the Prop to write to eeprom and reboot. As it is, they have to download the USB driver, then download an app to to the update using bstl. The html version will hopefully save time and effort on both ends.
Try using 0 for the default port.
EDIT: Ooops! It looks like it may be required for me to buy another license to allow Xojo to export a functional version of the page versus the debug page. I cannot get the file I loaded here to work. I will update this when I figure it out.
Someone from the Xojo forum is helping me out and has made a better version.
