where will the program be ?
- on the CLIENT machine - then you'll have to make him download your app - and then it's not a problem to launch it in such a window (provided you coded it to execute in a pop up !!)
- on the SERVER machine - then i hope for you there won't be many peole connecting at the same time running the same app !!!!!!!! this shouldn't be hard, as it's only displaying the results of your app in a popup ...

(personnaly, if i had to release an euro convertor, i would either write a very light c++ or basic or whatever app, and make it downloadable to clients; or do it in javascript (or pure java) and run it client side - i mean, it doesn't require heavy processing ...)

viel geluck !!!!!

It will be on the client wich is a server!! We got a Citrix enviroment over here...

I know that its possible only i want to know wich script or HTML code I have to use...

<object> will download the exe to the client machine - definitly NOT what you want to do
and i'm not aware of any other tag to embed an exe :-(
why don't you do it directly in html ?? no exe, only a web page ??
(no i'm french but my aunt is dutch and i've been living in brussels !)

so you can speak dutch!!!

makkelijk: ik wil een eurocalculator wat 1 bestand is (een EXE bestand) als een HTML file laten openen.. zodat ze niet hoeven te downloaden maar gewoon opent...

great!

I doubt you can actually open an exe file in a browser window.... The only executable files work on the web are the programs you write to process the form, do a search and etc.

Forget about exe file write a simple Javascript function and ask use to input data in text boxes and make ur function do the calculation for you....

Good luck

just as daLearner says, you can SIMULATE an exe but you can't have one opened like you want (unless you run it server side and use another langage such as cgi to translate the output in html)
to simulate one,
-> either use his javascript tip
(shouldn't be long :
<form name=myform>
<input type=text name=flval value=&quot;please enter a value in fl&quot; onblur=&quot;myform.euroval.value=myform.flval.value/1.5&quot;>
<input type=text name=euroval value=&quot;please enter a value in euro&quot; onblur=&quot;myform.flval.value=myform.euroval.value*1.5&quot;>
</form>
or very much like this - provided 1euro = 1.5 fl what i guess is wrong !)
-> or create a java application that can run as an exe

ps : mijn nederlandse is niet goed genoeg aan te beanwoorden !
pps : let me know if you're still stuck - als je blieft !

It can be done, I've seen it work on

http://www.techonline.com.

They have this interactive courses and they're surely based on an exe file.
Check it out. I don't really know how they do that.
