excute program on local computer with js

[neilntruong]

Hello,

Problem: I need to create a button that would execute/open a pre-installed program on the local computer.

Does anyone know if this is even possible?

Thanks

You can using an ActiveX control, I believe, with IE to run executable programs. For security reasons, client side scripting in browsers can't implement executable code, though. If it could, then a web page could format your hard drive without your permission, and do all sorts of other things.
