Active Desktop Page - Process In Desktop Window

[ANDREWeire]

Hello.

I have a small web application which I wish to place on a users desktop. My problem is that when I click on any of the buttons/controls on the asp page it then opens a new browser window to process the code.

For example... the user is prompted to enter a surname and click a button to search for matches in the database. Instead of refreshing the window in the desktop it opens a new window with the result.... etc, etc, etc

Just wondered if it was possible to have everything done within the same window.

Not sure if this question will be clear enough,

Is it a web app or a desktop app?
If it is an ASP application it resides on and runs from the web server and cannot be placed on a desktop directly.

Give us more detail about how the app works.
Is it possibly an HTA application? A compiled executable of some sort?

ASP is a script language that has to have a server interpret the code and act upon it. You cannot run it on a desktop directly unless that desktop is also a web server supporting ASP. If you have some odd hybrid app that uses a desktop component to access server-side data we would need a lot more details about the nature of the app and what it does.


At my age I still learn something new every day, but I forget two others.

onpnt's right.
I don't know what solution ANDREWeire got, but I had the same problem, and I've solved it by simply stating in href line "TARGET=_self".
