Hi

I am having a open source tool called STAF where i have to run the commands for this application through a command prompt like cmd. I have used the following code to run it and saved it as a .hta file . It works fine in IE ,but in Firefox as soon as i click the link for executing this .hta file , it shows up the entire source code on the page.

I would like to know whether can we run .hta in firefox and if so , how ? and
Is there any way where we can open cmd.exe from browser in php passing parameters to it.

Thanks for the help in Advance

This is the code which i missed out sending in the previous post:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function proc()
{
var shell = new ActiveXObject(" WScript.Shell") ;
shell.Run("c:\\ windows\\system 32\\cmd.exe /K c:\\sample.bat ",1,true);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload='proc(); '>
</body>
</html>

It is saved as stafe.hta

Have you ever considered using the standard PHP commands EXEC() or SYSTEM()? See PHP documentation for details:http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
