Just get <a href="http://www.lalabird.com/">JSMX</a>, then it's a simple case of including a single JS file and writing a couple of functions per call.<br /> Used it quite a bit for a thing at work and it's nice and painless.<br /> <br /> Things can start getting more complex when you have to take into account the order of commands and so on, but that just means you have to think a little, and ensure you send/receive timestamps with your functions, and cater for timeouts.
