Dynamic Page that uses javascript to run an executable on the client's pc

I have an .exe file on a shared network that has to be called and executed from portal. The below code works as standalone but not from a dynamic page or an HTML portlet. Any ideas?
<html>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function runApp()
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
shell.run('"c:/CstatsWeeklyreport.exe"',1,true);
</script>
<body>
<input type="button" name="button1" value="Run Notepad" onClick="runApp()" >
</INPUT>
</body>
</html>

Thanks D, but that's not what I'm looking for. That changes which application a file opens with when you download it. That's not what I need for this situation. Here's a little more detail.
The clients will have an application on their hard drive; it can be any application, even a custom application that they developed themselves. Then, they open a web page with a listbox full of items. Depending on which item they select, a query will return a file path to the .exe file itself. The .exe file resides on the client's hard drive, not on the server. So they're not downloading anything. Depending on the filepath returned by the query, the browser needs to start the process and open the .exe file for them.
So let's say I have developed a simple text editor called Tedit. I have a file on my hard drive - "C:\TextEditor\bin\debug\TEdit.exe". When they click the open button, that file path is returned from the database. Then the javascript is called to start the process and open that program.
Again, nothing is getting downloaded, the application resides on the user's hard drive and there is no file to associate it with.
This can be done in IE using an ActiveX control. And it used to be possible in Firefox using the nsIFile or nsIProcess objects. But since FF15 that's not available anymore, so the javascript throws an error telling them that their permission is denied.
What I need, is a javascript that will launch the .exe file from the user's hard drive without downloading anything.

Dynamic Page that calls DB procedure to update data gets PLS222 or PLS306

This seems a bit odd to me: I'm getting either "procedure no in scope" (when I call a procedure with the right args) or "wrong # or type of arguments" (when I call it with the wrong ones, so it is checking the procedure) in a dynamic page.<P>
I'm trying to build a dynamic page that will display data and checkboxes (basically to get around the multi-select limitations -- management has told me that the "fake" md form is not acceptable)<P>
So I build the page, it displays the data just fine exactly as we want it to:<P>

htp.p('< p>');

so then I try to add the procedure call (where the sql*plus comment is above)<P>

When I try to run as portlet, I get pls 222 not in scope. <but>
When I take a value out (say remove the last ",p_cb") - I get pls 306 wrong number or type of args to call.<P>
I've granted the procedure and its underlying tables to portal/public/and portal_public, even though I'm building the dynamic page under a DB provider that is the same as the schema I wrote the procedure in.<P>
I've tried specifying the schema, using a public synonym, and putting it in a package: same thing occurs, either I get pls 00222 not in scope when I call it with the right columns, or if I purposefully leave one out I get PLS 00306 wrong # or type of args.<P>
Any ideas?

Update:
IIS is7.5, AppPool is Integrated.
I have tried below, none of them works:
1) Add it only to system.web\httpHanders. Changed AppPool to classic, still got hidden error.
2) Add it only to system.webServer\handlers. Integrated mode,still got hidden error.
3) Add both to both element. Integrated mode, still got hidden error.

Hi Kingofwebguru,
According to your description, when you use reportviewer control, you got the error message: The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file.
To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
Click Start, click Run, then type InetMgr.exe and click OK.
Click plus sign next to server name to expand it.
Click Application Pools in left pane.
In Application Pools list, click DefaultAppPool.
In the Actions pane, in Edit Application Pool section, click Edit Settings to check the Pipeline mode.
Configuration settings for the HTTP handlers are specified in the system.web/httpHandlers element and the system.webServer/handlers element. of your application Web.config file. The handler specified in system.web/httpHandler is used by Internet Information
Services (IIS) 6.0 or IIS 7.0 in Classic mode, whereas the handler specified in system.webServer/handlers is used by IIS 7.0 in Integrated mode. To use IIS 7.0 in Integrated mode, you must remove the HTTP handler in system.web/httpHandlers. Otherwise, IIS
will not run the application, but will display an error message instead.
For more information about Web.config Settings for ReportViewer, please refer to the following document:

How to open a pdf from pdf target with page no using javascript

Hi
How to open a pdf from pdf target with page no using javascript
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

Pages that use flash freeze up in mavericks.

When viewing a page that uses a flash plug-in, the page will freeze after a few seconds of inactivity by me. It will start again if I touch my mouse or track pad over the area, but that's no solution. That's terrible.
I thought maybe it was a new setting, and I unchecked the option to stop plug-ins to save power when possible, but that didn't do anything.
This isn't ruining my life or anything. I'm just playing little flash games like Adventure Quest, and zOMG, but it's irritating.
Thank you for reading.
What is the solution?

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box beside
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes beside all items.
    Check the box beside "Remove all website data".
    Click "Reset".
5. Turn off Extensions, if any.
    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Now try YouTube.
Best.

Problem updating pages that use .dwt file

So i have 45 files that all use the same .dwt file. Usually when I make a change to the template and go file > save it asks me if i want to update all pages that use that specific .dwf file. For some reason it doesn't show the pages that do. Although if I go to the specific page for example contact.html and do a Modify > Templates > Apply template to page, it applys the changes, and then once i make a change to the .dwt file and do the File > Save, contact.html now appears in the section of files to be updated. I do not want to go thru every page and manually apply the template does anyone have any information that could help me out? thanks

I do not want to go thru every page and manually apply the template does anyone have any information that could help me out?
However, that would work.
It sounds like your site cache has become corrupted. Try the following -
1. Open DW's Site manager, select the site name, and click on EXPORT (make sure you opt to export the FULL site defintion including FTP info)
2. Export the site definition to a KNOWN location on your hard drive
3. With the site name still selected in Site manager, click REMOVE to remove that site from your list of definitions
4. Import the site definition you just exported - that should solve the updating problem
Does this heal things for you?

List of forms features that use JavaScript

I want to distribute a fillable form that doesn't use any JavaScript. Is there a list of features/toools that use JavaScript so I can avoid them? I'm on Acrobat Pro 9.2 in Windows XP SP3.
Regards,
Glenn

Bernd, I don't think it is that simple. I don't know any JavaScript commands. I included a field in a form that summed two other fields, really simple stuff. If I disable JavaScript in Acrobat, I get a warning that this form uses JavaScript.
So, I removed the field that totals and still get a warning. I'm guessing it is due to some other element such as radio buttons and/or mutually exclusive check boxes that use JavaScript without me knowing about it.
So my questions is "Is there a list of form-creation tools that use JavaScript? Are there any check boxes, radio boxes or any other standard form creating tools that use JavaScript?"
Thanks for the reply,
Glenn

Lost prompt to update pages that use template..

Yes I know I should not use templates but I do on very small sites with under 10 pages. When making adjustments to the templates I used to get a prompt asking me if I want to update pages that use that template, but I no longer get that. I must have changed something but I am wondering how I can change it back. I can manually update but I always forget and I do not wantto go that route....anyone know how I can get that prompt back to update pages that use template? Thanks much!

Well you have suggested SSI's before instead Murray....
No, I've suggested SSI's instead of Library items, or a combination of SSI's and a template instead of nested templates, but I've never suggested using SSI's instead of templates, although it is a workable solution.
I dont think it matters what I have in the code. It used to prompt me whenever I changed ANYTHING and had to save.
I do. However, try this simple test -
1. Create a new, blank HTML file.
2. Save it with FILE | Save as Template... (verify that the page is saved in the "Templates" folder)
3. Spawn a new child page from this template with FILE | New > Page from Template.
4. Save this page with any name you prefer.
5. Return to the template page and change the title from Untitled document to "Whatever". Save it. Are you prompted? You should be.
If you are not prompted then there is something systemically wrong with your DW installation.

Can't open links that use Javascript even if Javascript enabled

I've tried to open links on a recruitment website but the ones that use javascript, or at least I assume they do as this appears at the bottom of the screen when i click on the link javascript:%20OpenWindow(350,402,%20'details.asp?dir=1&id=39649&type=O&checksum=df089b6b4eab6c4134db5582a6d77a31',%20'Update',%20'True'); but nothing happens. Direct links to another website work ok. i'm having no problems with this when using internet explorer.
many thanks.

I went to the web site. No problem loading.

Why does Firefox 35.0.1 crash regularly on many sites that use javascript image rotation?

Since the latest update to version 35, many sites that use javascript to manipulate images tend to crash firefox and make either the guilty tab or all of firefox close suddenly. (Firefox on Debian 7 Wheezy Linux, all updates current). I use firefox daily for web development and this regression bug is VERY annoying for my workflow. I understand you cannot take every situation into account. I do not have the time to investigate what has made Firefox less stable. I really hope you can fix this performance problem. If I can do anything concrete to help besides jumping into the code, let me know.

I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.
Kappy has provided a good article on running Windows on a Mac and the various options. Here is the link:

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanks

If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.
