| From version 6.8.3.0 TAD Designer Lite now has a simple, yet powerful mechanism to send commands from a browser directly into TAD Designer Lite running inside the same computer as the browser. It uses a special "localhost" server. The word //localhost// means that it will will ONLY work on the same computer where you had started it and nowhere else. | From version 6.8.3.0 TAD Designer Lite now has a simple, yet powerful mechanism to send commands from a browser directly into TAD Designer Lite running inside the same computer as the browser.

| TAD Designer Lite internally recognizes some special links in HTML pages that can drive this //localhost// server. See the file //tadprotocol.html// that is in the same folder where you installed TAD. Load that file into a text editor and see how the links are created. Note that the localhost server protects itself using your credentials. So when you try to use it; the browser will need to authenticate you. If you browse the tutorials page, you will be prompted for a username and password. The username there is "tad" //(really!)// and the //password// you give there is actually the registered username you had used when registering TAD. Your username is shown on the toolbar inside TAD Designer Lite. | TAD Designer Lite internally recognizes some special links in HTML pages that can drive this //localhost// server.
