            of a <a href="https://www.jsonrpc.org/">JSON-RPC</a> servlet
            built with Webware for Python from your web browser
            via JavaScript (which has to be activated to run this demo).
            <noscript><span style="color:red">
            Unfortunately, JavaScript is not activated.
            </span></noscript></p>
            <p>The example uses a JSON-RPC JavaScript client
            based on Jan-Klaas' "JavaScript o lait" library.</p>
            <p>Type in any example text to be used as input parameter,
            choose one of the available methods to be invoked by the
            example servlet and press the button to display the result.</p>
