A simple javascript library that tries to act like readline.
Given a DOM element for showing the current command and a callback function, you can introduce a commandline prompt into your webpage, if that is something you would like.
new Readline($('#input'), this, this.execline)
or
new Readline($('#input'), this, this.execline, $('#term'))
"Make a new Readline object, using the #input DOM element as the command
buffer, sending completed commands to this.execline, with this as the object
to be referenced by "this" inside that function (see Function.call).
Optionally, only accept input when the #term DOM element has focus."
See adlaiff6@github:jsh for an example of its usage. There is also an example, if you just want to see the end result, here.

I have only tested this on Firefox and Chromium (latest-ish Gentoo build). I also tried it on Uzbl, and couldn't get Backspace to work right. I think it's the same problem I found with Chromium (they're both WebKit-based), but I have yet to confirm that. If you find problems in other browsers, please let me know, but also know that I probably won't be able to reproduce or fix them, so you might have to provide me with a solution on your own.
