Now you have two choices;
1) send the data to the server for format and page generation.
You can do this with CGI or POST messages.
2) use client-side scripting.

Without writing tools, option 1 is what we currently have. I also
suspect that work involved in using one custom server is much less
than that involved in writing plugins for a rang of browsers.

Your explanation begs the question that, if the display and serial
port are on the same PC, why do you need a browser?
