I don't understand. 
The sources of pas2js are in FPC trunk, so it can only depend on trunk...

I am sure it can, but I have no desire to spend time on this.

A basic read/write is as far as I am prepared to go.

I will accept patches for a CRT unit, but will not spend time on this.

It should be possible.

You don't need javascript at all. 
The web unit gives you full access to the DOM and to all browser events, 
right from Pascal.

You will need maybe 1 routine that actually reads/writes a DOM element node,
but that's it.

If you want I can write something basic, and let you finish it :)
