Hi,<br />
I'm very new to html, so I don't really know the best way to do this. Basically I want to have an html page with a link/button and when the user clicks on it, I want to transparently:<br />
1. Run some Javascript which will determine if I need to run program b.exe<br />
2. If so, go ahead and run b.exe<br />
3. Now run a.exe (regardless of whether or not b.exe was run).<br />
<br />
I've visited quite a few tutorials and haven't seen anything like this scenario. What is the best way to accomplish this?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any input.<br />
Beth<!--content-->what are your parameters for a.exe and b.exe. You are also aware that you'll just be linking to the files... you can not run them without having the users confirmation.<!--content-->There are no parameters for a.exe or b.exe.<br />
Yes, I still expect that the user will have to confirm to run them as they do now. But instead of the user actually clicking a link on the page to run them, I want to simulate that they pressed the link and automatically run them.<br />
<br />
But I don't know if html and/or javascript can do that.<br />
<br />
