    STARTING NOTEPAD.exe from WEBPAGE

    I have a webpage that is on my local machine.
    The page will open NOTEPAD.exe on the local machine.

    My intentions is to have a JAVAscript and a form. It seems that I
    have some code problems:

    Can anyone help?

    The code is listed below:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>

    <SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
    function executeCommands (inputparms)
    {
    // Instantiate the Shell object and invoke its execute method.

    var oShell = new ActiveXObject(" Shell.Applicati on");

    var commandtoRun = "C:\\WINDOWS\\N otepad.exe";
    if (inputparms != "")
    {
    var commandParms = document.Form1. filename.value;
    }

    // Invoke the execute method.
    oShell.ShellExe cute(commandtoR un, commandParms, "", "open", "1");
    }
    </SCRIPT>

    </HEAD>

    <BODY>
    <FORM name="Form1">
    <CENTER>
    <BR><BR>
    <H1>Execute PC Commands From HTML </H1>
    <BR><BR>
    <File Name to Open:<Input type="text" name="filename" size="20"/>
    <BR><BR>
    <input type="Button" name="Button1" value="Run Notepad.exe"
    onClick="execut eCommands()" />

    <BR><BR>
    <input type="Button" name="Button2" value="Run Notepad.exe with
    Parameters" onClick="execut eCommands(' + hasPARMS + ')" />
    </CENTER>
    </FORM>
    </BODY>

    </HTML>

      There are a few things wrong. However, I don't play Internet Explorer.

      And as much as I hate to post this link (only because it is not viewable
      via the web), here it is:

          This script works like a charm in Mozilla only, I know by you note
          you don't play in IE, but is it possible to get it to work in IE as
          well?

              If you are talking about http://www.geocities.com/schools_ring/al.zip
              then it works for any browser supporting XPCOM or WShell over ActiveX
              hence any Gecko-based browser and IE>=4 (that includes Firefox, IE6,
              IE7)
              Obviously it requires security settings down to low - at the very
              least "Ask before launching unsigned components". If current settings
              are "Never launch unsigned components" then this script will be
              silently disregarded, this is what is happening on your IE. My script
              is targeted to specific intranet solutions with controllable security
              environment. For the default Internet security environment it is
              pretty much useless. For the latter case you need a full standing
              XPCOM/ActiveX module signed by a valid security certificate in order
              to trig security permission dialog client-side.
