Need Help on how to call an exe file in HTML

[Tadpole]

I'm new to HTML and I need to run an executable on the end users machine via HTML. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

you cant do that. which is a GOOD thing.

Just make a link (i.e. <A HREF="thefile.exe">Click Here</A>). It won't happen automatically, though. The user must choose "open" to load the program.

if you could open a hyperlink that links to an exe people could do some very interesting things with onLoad links. Its a huge security issue
