Call me a dumbass but I cannot see a use for this other than saying hey I made a useless remote that controls my xbox functions.
Don't take my message to you about this as a flame. Me, I'm laughing my ass off even thinking about the whole idea

good luck shelling out $150 for that bluetooth internet connection, maybe you should get Wi-Fi instead.Why HTML? Unless your xbox is running a webserver. I mean you can try to write a remote control program through the network maybe using C. Just compile the interface damn it.
Ok, you're asking if there is a way? the short answer is no. But you can try to write one yourself.
(I got some experince with webserving and unless you're running a webserver that interfaces with a remote accessing program, then there is no way!)

| Your F***King nuts with way too much time on your hands. Web Remote control your XBOX!! What the heck would you do with it other than play a dvd? And why a DVD or even a CD for that matter? And why through a damn webpage for crying outloud? You gonna use your laptop as your wireless remote control? I could understand maybe and this is maybe a palm o/s interface but still could not see a reason why in the hell you would need something like this.

umm I don't know about your xbox remote control, but mine don't work through walls.
How about you think before you flame ?

And there are devices that let you use your remote in another room...
You can build one yourself:
Build your own remote extender.
Or buy one:
Remote extender piramids.

No worries, its just that compared to most of the newbie questions, this one was quite reasonable.
And flamming, bumping & large sig are my pet hate of the week
What I like about the IPAQ idea is that I could start my MP3 juke box while getting out of the car & shit like that, I always have my IPAQ on me. But the xbox remote is unused and a the bottom of my crap draw.
