Running a javascript code outside of HTML file

[mahmoodn]

Hi,
Is it possible to run a javascript outside of html file? I have a HTML page that submit user/pass via javascript code. Is it possible to run the javascript code from command line (linux)?

I don’t think it is possible without some kind of backend programme. JavaScript requires a host object, after all.

Any idea is welcomed. From should I start?

I think all of the tools are GUI based. If I had a GUI, then there was no problem with the HTML file itself. So what I am looking is to run a command something like "java submit_auth" and submit_auth is a file which contains the javascript in the mentioned HTML file.

Thanks,

you are aware that this calls the JRE?

However, you can try to run TraceMonkey or JavaScriptCore (or whatever host ist available) as stand-alone programme, but they might not do that by themselves.

I found it a very hard task!! I am not expert with such engines.... I should try to find an alternative first. Thanks

the simple way is to run it on a webserver that uses javascript, like .net or v8. then you can simply curl the webserver from the command line to get the input and output you need.
