Thanks for the response Konstantin,
I do have my go handler configured, as well as my ws function in javascript
configured to be triggered on the click of a button. Forgot to mention
this. right now on the click of a button I can execute a terminal command
in go, and output the results in realtime on my webpage. But what I want to
do is configure a toggle switch on my webpage so that if the switch is in
an on position, then when I click the button, I can execute a terminal
command in my go code, and if the switch is off, after I click the button
my go code will execute a different terminal command. Here is the toggle
switch I have implemented: http://www.bootstraptoggle.com/
But now I'm stuck on how to read whether this switch is in its off/on
position in my go code. Any suggestions would help.
