Here is a version in HTML/JavaScript.

The style could use some improvement.

And I still think it would be nice to have a version that does not depend on client scripting. I could do it easily in asp.Net, but if anyone wants to do it Python, that would probably be more compatible with the existing server scripting. (Edit: darius has provided a Python implementation.)

Also, does anyone know of a better file hosting site? I apologize for the captcha needed to download.

Odd, I just get "Sorry, your time to enter the code has expired. Please try again". Tried with Firefox 3.0.10 and IE 7.0.5730.13.

Look below the table -- there should be a link "Download for free with FileFactory Basic". (I downloaded it using Firefox.)

That worked, thanks. :)

One advantage of the executable is that you don't lose a record of your previous questions and answers. I think this is crucial, and ought to be included in a webbed version as well. It was annoying that the text entry boxes didn't let me type <return> in order to enter my guess.

But thanks for writing this version to get us started on the web.
