Have you though about using webMathematica. All the coding for passing
user info (usually as ASCII text) to a Mathematica kernel is built in
the software. This way the users do not even have to have Mathematica
on their machines.

The downside is you need to install webMathematica on a server, quite
easy with the latest version, and know about html/forms etc. Not a
terrible steep curve in my opinion; the pay-off is that there are  lots
of additional options available to you as you extend your project.

If you are firmly married to your present approach have you given
thought to using the Mathematica functions

Input[ ] and InputString[]

Cheers,

Brian
