Web page interfacing with COM port to control page
<p>I'm looking at creating a project that has a touch screen panel on a com port and a front facing website.</p>

<p>I want the touch screen panel to interface with the web page, it will have two buttons (left &amp; right) and I want those actions to "do something" on the web page.</p>

<p>I'm trying to work out which programming/scripting language would be best to, I could use JS but I believe that'd mean polling a c/perl/php script that is listening on the COM port considering JS has no socket capabilities.</p>

<p>Would it be easier if I used ASP.NET/C# - would it cause me less headaches?</p>

<p>Any input is appreciated.</p>
