A quick test shows 3 to 1 compression on HTML. If you expand 1kByte of ROM to 3kBytes of HTML I'm sure you could have an impressive page. You are missing the point. It isn't the size of the web page content that consumes space in the embedded device. It's the code that takes all the configurable parameters, and produces nice input fields on the web page. And the code that takes the response from the web browser, and screens the values of all fields before either rejecting the page (sending out the same page again but with some fields marked as invalid but after the input values have been sanitized) or accepting the data and storing it in a good way locally - preferably protected by CRC32 or similar to make sure that the device always knows if there have been any garbling. Parts of the information could come from javascript files picked up from other web sites but it isn't optimal. And it doesn't matter how much javascript input controls you have. The web server or the device must still perform a hard screening of the parameters. |
