At its simplest you just email the details to an object in SL.
Or there is XML RPC and HTTP support. Take a look at the communications page in the wikki for more details. _____________________

Thanks Newgate, but I've already looked through this and as a newbie to LSL I'm totally confused.
Let's say I have a web page that contains only: <form name="myMessage">My message to a script in SL</form> How do I get that message from the Web into a variable in my second life script? Remember I'm a newbie with LSL and need all the Is dotted and the Ts crossed ![]() Thanks _____________________

Caveat : Newgy is the first to admit his web knowledge is minimal!

Remember I'm a newbie with LSL and need all the Is dotted and the Ts crossed ![]() Thanks It will be dependant upon you understanding and use of web side processing. At its simplest I believe that you could email the form data directly to SL <form method=POST action="mailto:<myobjectkey>@secondlife.com" ..... And then use the Email event to handle the data. But it would be very dependant upon what you form was doing as to how you then decoded and used the data. CODE

Thanks Newgate. That provided me with some very useful clues as to how I can go about establishing contact and communication between an object in Second Life and an object embedded in a web page.
