Hi Guys,

Is there a way to open up the windows system calculator, when a button is pressed on a website for example?

In Javascript?

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Quick note. I really need to have this without any warning popups.

The main problem I have is not knowing which directory the calculator is in.

Browsers will not allow an external program to be called from script. So the windows calculator cannot be invoked.

Try having a javascript calculator on your page (maybe as a popup)

Search the web for examples

Like this one here (http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e9125168/javas/jcalc.html)

Yes, after thinking about it, I see you are obviously right.

I did manage to get the calculator displaying, but only with warnings.

Thanks for the help.
