this kicks ***, check out the post entitled "opening Notepad w/ ActiveX":
http://www.devshed.com/Talk/Forums/...TML/000540.html
here's some sample code:
function notepad() {
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
shell.run("NOTEPAD.EXE localfile",3);
}
I tried it and it works for localfiles, it might work for files accross a network, if you tweak it... don't know.
It would work if you use a combo of CGI and JS, but you may lose a little of the manageability...
If you find out, though, let me know.
