I have directly sent a response to those individuals who have so kindly
responded with suggestions to my request concerning interfacing Ada with
HTML forms. I will gladly send my complete response upon request.

A potential approach can be found in the:

W3C HTML 4.01 Specification:
HTML 4.01 Specification W3C Proposed Recommendation

http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/  I downloaded the PDF file

W3C Proposed Recommendation. Section 13.1 Introduction to objects, images,
and applets, starting on page 159 appears to be relevant to this discussion.
Section 18 Scripts is also relevant (page 251). The Ada facility, I have
requested appears to exist for other languages: Javascript, JAVA, Visual
BASIC, tcl, etc. In fact, it should be required of any Ada J code compiler.

You should also look at the XHTML spec.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/

XHTML[tm] 1.0: The Extensible HyperText Markup Language
A Reformulation of HTML 4.0 in XML 1.0
W3C Working Draft 24 November 1999

That is it is XML and thus it has the strict tag scheme that XML has
which HTML otherwise lacks.

Hopefully XHTML will replace HTML in the future.
