FireFox open batch file.

[abo_mahmoud]

Hi guys:
This is my first thread here.
I wrote this script

<script type="text/javascript">
function PROCTest() 
{
 document.location.href = "/Start.bat"
}
</script>

and then from button I wrote

<input type=button onclick="PROCTest();">

But the problem that FireFox show the content of the batch file "Start.bat".
Can I make it execute it? -IE does that-

Regards

This is a security vulnerability. You will find that if the page is not served from the local computer, the link will not work at all. Imagine a page that fired off exectables on the client machine when it was viewed.

A web browser is not the right tool for this task.

What can I do in this case?

The command line.


Explain a little more of your circumstances if you could. Perhaps we can help you to find a better solution.

By command line .........!! It works ,but how?
I want to do this

SmartCodeStudio -p C:\Label.lbx -records="1" -num="10"

this command can be done in RUN or command line .

How can I do this in a web page?

[penagate]

You can't. That's not what web pages are for.

Why do you want to do this using a web page?

I'm developing a web page on an intranet .......which contains the last command that prints something...........
Isn't it logical?
Any suggestions?

Not really.
Web pages don't print things. They're static. You can do a limited amount of manipulation of the web page itself on the client side by using JavaScript, but that's it.

Do your paper documents walk over to the photocopier and copy themselves? Of course not.
Don't expect a web page to be able to do anything more.
