javascript sockets??

[orlox]

I was wondering if there exist a way to use tcp/ip sockets on jvascript. I'm working on a project where this possibility would be very usefull...

Does anyone know of a way to do this??

what are you trying to do

afaik, that would be a security nightmare since js is a client side thing. maybe you want ajax? it allows you to do http requests from java script

Yeah, JS definately isn't the way to go here, even if it was possible (which I don't think it is). If you want a TCP/IP connection, you are much better off writing a client and server app package than try and hack together something. Are you sure you're going about this the right way? The browser and web-server usually handles the connection stuff, are you sure you can't just do a GET/POST dohickey?
