Is it possible to to take a screenshot of a webpage with javascript and then submit that back to the server? I'm not so concerned with browser security issues etc as the implementation would be for HTA. But is it possible? ...
Is it possible to use both JScript and VBScript in the same HTA? Can I call VBScript functions from JScript and vice-versa? Are there any "gotchas," like the JScript running first and the VBScript running second (classic ASP pages have this issue). ...
I have written an HTML Application (hta file) and am wondering if there is a way to embed an icon file into the hta file itself. I have seen html emails that include embedded graphic files, is there any way to do this with html applications and icons? HTA files have an HTA:APPLICATION tag that allows you to specify an icon, but I want ...
I'm working on an application that is implemented as an HTA. I have a series of links that I would like to have open in the system's default web browser. Using <a href="url" target="_blank"> opens the link in IE regardless of the default browser. Is there a way to use the default browser? Using JavaScript is an option. ...
Hi everyone, From a html application (.hta file) you can drag any image and drop it into the desktop for example. Does anybody know how to disable this capability? I want the .hta files have the same behaviour than the .html files. Thanks in advance ...
Are there any known security issues related to running a web application via a .hta file. I am especially interested in the drag & drop issues related to .hta files and frames see: http://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/jonsayce/archive/2008/01/10/drag-and-drop-problems-in-hta-frames.aspx ...
I have a HTML application, partially HTML, partially VBscript, disguised as a form. What it does is it opens a few local files, runs a DOS box containing GAWK and presents a text file as its result. I wish to expand upon it by letting it create a bitmap image with the results in a stacked bar graph, for instance as a .BMP file. But I'm s...
Since HTA applications are hosted within MSHTA.exe how does one provide a manifest? Plus I assume providing a MSHTA.exe.manifest could potentially break other HTA apps? ...
Hi, I am developing a framework for various in-house CRUD apps. I've considered several MS technologies (WPF, Access, WinForms, ASP.NET) and have settled on ASP.NET MVC with HTA+Jquery for the client. My reason for doing so is that I need a way to write and deploy quick one-off GUI apps as well as maintaining more robust apps that are e...
I am building a little HTA for personal use, and would like to be able to drag and drop a file to the interface. Once the file is dropped, I would either automatically run it (assuming it fits some parameters I set, like file extension), or at least fill in the input box on the HTA interface. I've searched extensively, but can't find a ...
I have an HTA (microsoft html application - just an offline html + javascript app) that is using the standard MS XMLHTTP COM object (Microsoft.XMLHTTP or Msxml2.XMLHTTP depending on version detected) via JavaScript to send some data back to the server. It is returning status code 0. This is apparently not a valid HTTP status code (they...
I've written a small (8-10 laptops) point-of-sale system running over a wireless network, as an HTA that reads from/writes to an Access MDB located on a network share. I need to use ADO - GetString and the user roster are not available with DAO. I also need to use DAO - the MDB cannot be compacted with ADO. I know that: 1) If the databa...
Application: HTA (therefore IE) This is an application that uses SendKeys to populate a FILE input field. Issue: File is never uploaded. Description: An offscreen form (invisible to user) uploads a file to the server. The file input is entered via SendKeys (javascript). Appears to be isolated to when IE8 is installed. Does anyo...
If Microsoft's method for using IE as a local host for HTA's then, can I use any other browser instead? ...
I'm trying to fix a .hta that someone at my company created 3 or 4 years ago. Right now if you open a file that someone else already has open, you'll lose any work you've done on it and will have to manually do it over again. So I was thinking just checking to see if the file is already open and then either locking editing, or just mak...
Hello. I'm trying to embed an external .swf file from an HTA application that consists of HTML content, javascript and vbscript. I load the swf from javascript, using swfobject. The remote server allows 'localhost' as the originating server, and I could embed it on an HTML page on my webserver, running on http://localhost, but I need to...

Hello all, I'm having a quite annoying problem, and came up with a quite ugly hack to make it work. I develop an Hta application using a CouchDB database (for internal company use). The problem is there seems to be some very aggressive caching of the database queries, and it's been hard to come up with solutions. So the updated data i...
Currently, we have an .hta file that employees use to update certain elements of their active directory profile. This alleviates system administrators from having to deal with that issue. The reasoning for a .hta file is obvious. It lifts a lot of the security blockades in place and allows a machine to do things (such as update an ac...
