Append to HTML file

[Gant88]

Hi, 

I have a VI that controls a stepper motor attached to a camera. I want people to be able to access this camera and control its position through the web. Is there any way to append an HTML file or icon from labview and rotate the camera with the data sent from the web?

Thank you for your help.

Look in the LabVIEW documentation on the topic of Web Publishing Tool and Web Server. This should get you started.

I tried using the labview web publishing tool like you suggested, but when I tried to preview the page (even with the VI running) I only get the border of the front panel without the VI in it. Do you know why this is happening? 

Thank you for your help.

Which web browser is that? It looks like Google Chrome. The browser must be able to support the LabVIEW plug-in.

I have the plugi-ings for labview and i also tried it in internet explorer and firefox and it shows the same thing. I installed the Run Time Engine to see if it would fix the problem but it is still showing the same results.

Sorry I hadn't spotted your URL. You have to access the page using the http:// protocol, not the file:// protocol. Thus, you'd have a URL of "http://localhost/Final Camera Program2.html" (assuming the html file is in the labview\www directory). You also have to make sure you've enable the web server from the LabVIEW Options.

Thank you very much, I was able to connect to the server.
