I finally got it! http://drpantzo.mine.nu:4242/ The answer turned out to be a combination of AJAX and supplying the output of the text generation function directly to the dispatcher as a string (compute-ice-cream returns a string): (setq *dispatch-table* `(,(create-prefix-dispatcher "/compute&q...

I think seeing your entire file may be helpful. After your suggestion I decided to learn some Javascript and try the AJAX route, though not yet all the way to JSON. With hunchentoot's default dispatcher (that is, NIL), index.html loads with a blank space below the "Compute Ice Cream" butto...

When index.html's link to output.html is clicked, the application is to compute a new output.html file… ...
