Recently I was reading Calvin Hsai's weblog and came across his entry on how to put a web browser on a desktop:

After reading that I made some modifications and now have a 2 page form where the first page contains a grid. Clicking on a row in a grid takes you to the 2nd page containing the web browser control. I can click on a text file in the grid and that appears in page 2, an XML file and that gets renered in page 2, a URL works (click on http://www.cnn.com/ in the grid and I see cnn.com's web page on page 2) and I have custom code that uses the XMLHTTP object to parse other web sites and display that in HTML.

Ok, now I want to have additional entries in the grid but with parameters to enter say the begin date and end date. Another entry may need a city, state and start value - that is different data types, with 0 - N parameters possible.

I can NOT use ASP for this example - just a VFP front end that will handle the entry and return HTML that I will create in a custom class. So the question is how do I best accomplish something like this? XML makes sense such that I can pass a single XML string but what about setting up a generic parameters form and the parsing that generic XML on the recieving side.

Hope this makes sense and someone has some suggestions.
