Hello all,
I was wondering if its possible to run a DOS command from the html
page.
Yes. But I suppose it depends on what you are doing this for..

I have done this in a controlled intranet environment via batch files.

eg. the url is something like this...

<a href="file://h:\companyapps\standard.bat">Run the standard stuff</a>
....and the the bat file I can put anything.

The user knew that it was a controlled environment, and that the pages that
we built only contained stuff that they knew they could trust.

On the web however it is different. No body will trust a public web site to
run things like that over the web.
