JAVA scipt needed

[kotkot]

Hi all - I am looking for a JAVA script that automatically downloads
and executes a .exe or .com program upon clicking a link.

Let me know (I'd appreciate an answer to my email address as well)

Thanks ...

No...

You are looking for a JavaScript

in which case, wrong group.

We don't do scripting here. Unless you're wanting JSTL?


Incidentally, if you look here:

http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

You will see a coffee cup next to their JavaScript blurb.

What's that all about?
Have the JS brigade nicked our device as well as our name?

Hi,

I think that is virtually impossible.

1. JavaScript is not allowed to open sockets (internet connections to the
outside - or even inside - world). The only way to do that is to use FRAMEs
or IFRAMEs inside your main HTML.
2. For security reasons, Java script can not execute external (and
downloaded) programs.
3. Then you're left with writing a plug-in/ActiveX control to do what you
want, where your Java script instructs that plug-in/ActiveX control what to
do.

Hey, you don't need scripts to do that, just use Internet Explorer :]
