Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
Can someone tell me if there is a specific code or way to open an .exe file from a web page. I tried using a direct link to the file from a page i.e.<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mydomain.com/filename.exe">http://www.mydomain.com/filename.exe</a><!-- m --><br />
but when you go to the page the above link is on and click on it the "File Download <!--more-->" popup comes up with the "open",<br />
"save", "cancel" and "More Info" buttons along the bottom.<br />
<br />
I am trying to get the application to open in the visitors browser so they can use the application.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
joier<!--content-->yeah... i don't think that's gonna work. You can "open" and exe file in the browser.<!--content-->all your visitor are on ms windows??<br />
to my knowledge, the only apps that can run within a web page are java apps. (well they might be other with browser plugin)<br />
<br />
is it that bad to run the apps outside the browser?<!--content-->You can't run an exe file from a webpage. Some people visiting the page may be using Linux or Mac or something else. They require a different type of file.<br />
<br />
It would be a big security risk if you could run a program this way. It would be the quickest way of making up and passing on computer virses.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are serverside languages like PHP and ASP where you can write web applications that are run on the server.<!--content-->
