Well put it this way, if you load the page (with the button) from
http://example1.com/somewhere then you cannot have a button that interacts with
http://myiseries.com/somewhereelse and then continues to work with
http://example1.com/somewhere after the button click action is finished. That is the illegal cross-domain request we talked about earlier. You can only do that if your button click is going to navigate away to
http://myiseries.com/somewhereelse completely (i.e. waving goodbye to
http://example1.com/somewhere ) The only way I know of to circumvent this is to use web sockets to initiate the request. Without that, the domain that delivers the list of data and the button(s) must be the same domain as the one that processes the button request.
Clear as mud I guess...

Subject: [WEB400] Is it possible to send a call to the CGI program without
Let me try and clarify this a little more.
Firstly thanks for the comments.
We use a reporting tool on the AS/400 that displays data only. In this instance, there is a list of programs that need permission to be promoted into production. The manager will display the list on her screen, iPad or cell phone and if she approves it, she will select an approve button, which should then call something like a web service to process the approval. The button will do a "call" to a CGI program to update the new status. It would at that point return a confirmation screen from CGIDEV.
