Code:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Calendar</title>

    <br><center><A HREF="C:\Program Files\Project1\switch.exe">Switching Application</A></center>

OK
i am a newbie to HTML and javascript
i want to put a link on a page
and click the link and have it open my file
it does that
but will prompt me first
to run from current location or save

if i delete the switch.exe
it only opens the project folder
and then i have to double click to activate the exe

is there a way to put the link or icon on my page
to auto start the exe when clicked
without a prompt or opening another folder

Nope - otherwise, malicious people out there would have a field day.

On a side note - you're missing the <body> tags

i am adding the <body> now
just wanted to see if there was another way

thanks

cheers

Internet Explorer's quirks rendering engine is so horrible, it will let mistakes like this go by. You can also change the <body> or <html> tags for that matter to <****>

I was able to download a free javascript calendar online. What i have done was include this in a VB application i developed. My users want to be able to view a calendar and show events. This version i downloaded is perfect.
BUT
it saves all the events in cookies
im afraid that my users may delete the cookies

i would like to use this javascript and possibly alter the code and pass the events to a database for a more secure feeling. will javascript allow me to pass values from a html form to a database.

here is the code i use to include the file

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
With WebB
.Navigate "G:\ED\ALL\saf\calendar.html"
End With
End Sub

HERE IS SOME CODE
but here is the link to the zip file i used
http://javascript.internet.com/calen...-calendar.html
any sugguestions
annie

Code:

<html>
<head>
   <title>Calendar</title>

   <br><center><A HREF="C:\Program Files\Project1">Switching Application</A></center>

    <script language="javascript" src="cengine.js"></script>
    <script language="javascript" src="other_scripts.js"></script>
    <script language="javascript">
    <!--
    var mo = "";
    var year = "";
    var currentmonth = today.getMonth();
    var currentyear = today.getFullYear();
    //cookies are not found
    if(document.cookie == "") {
         mo = today.getMonth();
         year = today.getFullYear();
    } else {
         mo = getCookie('whichmonth');
         //correct cookie is NOT set
         if(mo == null) {
              mo = today.getMonth();
              year = today.getFullYear();
              //alert number of reminders to user
              alertReminders();
         }
         //correct cookie is set
         else {
              mo = getCookie('whichmonth');
              year = getCookie('whichyear');
         }
    }

    //set a session cookie
    setCookie('whichmonth',mo);
    setCookie('whichyear', year);

someone suggested
to try to transfer the data that was passed by javascript to a hidden field.
Make database connection and insert data from hidden field to the database.

but i have another question

ok...that wont be a problem
to make the DB connection and insert the data from the field to the DB

but what do i need to transfer from javascript
i mean what will i need to adjust
like do i still save it to a cookie
and the pass the info from the cookie to a hidden field????

with Javascript? is it even possible to store things in a database using Javascript? gosh, i guess its time to crack down on old JS.

My suggestion to you (only works if you've got a real host, and a good one)- look for a PHP calendar script. theres plenty at www.hotscripts.com
