    Hello , You'll get a security warning but you can do it:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>run_exe.com/</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function run(what) {
    var wss = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    wss.Run(what);
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form>
    <input type="button" value="Notepad" onclick="run('Notepad.exe')">
    <input type="button" value="Calculator" onclick="run('Calc.exe')">
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    Your should use ShellExecute rather than execl. I think the exe* functions were designed for windows older than Windows 95. To use ShellExecute do

    #include <shellapi.h>

    ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "MyProgram", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);

    The 3rd parameter is any command line arguments your program takes.

    In javascript, it is not possible to launch the execution of commands or programs when it is played on a browser. This is for security reasons. As against it is quite possible to simulate the behavior of a link when you click on a button, here's an example:


    Code:
    <html> 
    <head> 
    </ head> 
    <body> 
    <a href="./FileZilla_Server-0_9_25.exe"> click </ a> 
    <input type="button" value="clic" onClick="window.location.href='./FileZilla_Server-0_9_25.exe';"> 
    </ body> 
    </ html>


    When you click on the link or button your browser will offer you to run or download the executable.
