[x3d-public] A Layer/Layout yottzumm/coderextreme example scene to talk about

[John Carlson]

I use JQuery/JavaScript and socket.io, but Sunrize and FreeWRL don’t seem
to do HTML.   I just include a Script tag in X_ITE.  See my JSONverse
project:
https://github.com/coderextreme/JSONverse

I wouldn’t be opposed to including an HTML file in a Layer, it might make
things easier to deal with at a programmer level, and we have a way to
distinguish Script elements by type.

Enjoy!
