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

Quote:

<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.
