Livin,
I looked at what you are requesting and it would basically mean executing a small php script on a button click. The php script would have to open a network socket, write the bytes, then close the socket.
I am very, very hesitant to add this functionality until I can test this out on a system of my own. A much better solution is to get a web remote that controls most of your receivers functions and also monitors the return information from the receiver.
I looked around for a decent web remote for the Onkyo receiver and see only a few that are decent. Search in AVSForums for "Onkyo ISCP network". There are two or three threads with some decent solutions.

Ahhh....Doh!
Now I understand what you are saying.
Let me research EventGhost some (to get my head around what you are suggesting).
Regards,
Kabooga.

*update*
Kabooga,
I installed the UI. At first I could not get it working - it seems the first post is outdated.
but now it is working, though the user-defined command is not.
I have tried...
192.168.2.11 and localhost
/index.html?wmc.load
both throw an error... remoteFailure failure t:0
btw: EventGhost is on the same box, and that command works fine, I use it frequently from Maraschino
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Kabooga,
I use Firefox 21 & IE10 on the PC I was testing on. I can send that exact command (and others) perfectly from the address lines on both, and as links inside the Maraschino UI. Definitely not a problem with browser settings.
Also... I get a ton of failures/object errors whe selecting anything from the Client or Select Screen drop-downs
Also #2... are you considering making the UI more touch frieldly? I think you have the best 'jukebox' style UI for XBMC and it would work well for touchscreens with some minor UI mods - like: larger text/buttons, direct access / inline buttons on the items (play, queue, etc).

Kabooga,
Are you planning to continue development soon?
