I have a web (online) asp/vbscript that uses a function to decrypt RC4 encrypted data. A client now needs to email encrypted data and decrypt it on their local desktop. I recently found out about hta's and they appear to be the answer in this case. I have read several posts and downloaded and searched the Scripting guys articles but cannot get the function to work.

I have tried at least thirty variations of the code below without success. I think I need help converting the function to a sub I can call like this: Sub B1_onClick

B1 being the name of the submit button

Here is what I have, and of course I am getting two errors, Wrong number of arguements or invalid property assignment: RC4 and Cannot use parentheses when calling a sub. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code: 
<html>

<head><title>Data Decryption</title>

<HTA:APPLICATION ID="oHTA";

  APPLICATIONNAME="Data Decryption";

  BORDER="thin";

  BORDERSTYLE="normal";

  SINGLEINSTANCE="no";

 />
 <style>

body {
   background-color:#E8E8E8;
   font:13px "Century Gothic";
   color:#000;
hr {
   color:#0000C0;
.title {
   font-weight:700;
</style>


<script type="text/vbscript">

Sub Window_OnLoad

   self.resizeTo 600, 400

End Sub



 Function RC4(ByRef Key, ByRef Data)
    dim KeyBytes(255)
    dim CypherBytes(255)
    KeyLen=Len(Key)
    if KeyLen=0 Then Exit function
    KeyText=Key
    For i=0 To 255
      KeyBytes(i)=Asc(Mid(Key, ((i) Mod (KeyLen))+1, 1))
    Next
    if Len(Data)=0 Then Exit function
    For i=0 To 255
      CypherBytes(i)=i
    Next
    Jump=0 'Swap values of Cypher around based on index and KeyText value
    For i=0 To 255 'Find index To switch
      Jump=(Jump+CypherBytes(i)+KeyBytes(i)) Mod 256
      Tmp=CypherBytes(i) 'Swap
      CypherBytes(i)=CypherBytes(Jump)
      CypherBytes(Jump)=Tmp
    Next
    i=0
    Jump=0
    For X=1 To Len(Data)
      i=(i+1) Mod 256
      Jump=(Jump+CypherBytes(i)) Mod 256
      T=(CypherBytes(i)+CypherBytes(Jump)) Mod 256
      Tmp=CypherBytes(i) 'Swap
      CypherBytes(i)=CypherBytes(Jump)
      CypherBytes(Jump)=Tmp
      RC4=RC4 & Chr(Asc(Mid(Data, X, 1)) Xor CypherBytes(T)) 'Character Encryption
    Next
  End function
  
   Output.innerHTML= RC4
 
 </script> 
 
 </head>

<body>
<p><span class="title">Data Decryption Utility</span><hr><br>

<form name="form1"  >  

    <p>Encrypted Data Here: <input type="text" size="40" name="t2">
    
    <input type="hidden" size="40" name="t1" value="36yj49x6t5hd7x245k8tm7829a4d6cvhsh4x1m5r">

    <input type="submit" name="B1" value="Submit" onclick="RC4(t2.value,t1.value)"></p><br>
    </form>

<div id=Output></div>



</body>

</html>

If you can get me going in the right direction I would appreciate it, I feel like I am running in circles here.

Replace this:
Output.innerHTML= RC4
with something like this:
Output.innerHTML=RC4(strKey,strData)

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PHV,

I tried the change mentioned. But I am still getting the Cannot use parentheses when calling a sub which occurs on the line:

Code: 
<input type="submit" name="B1" value="Submit" onclick="RC4(t2.value,t1.value)"></p><br>

And I am now getting an error that says: Object Required: Output from this line:

Code: 
Output.innerHTML=RC4(strKey,strData)

Do I need to define Output as a WSH object or something??


The hta is also opening another copy of the hta Which encounters the same errors. (When I click submit button).

Any ideas? thanks again for your help, i appreciate it.

I have made several modifications to the hta and now i don't get an error until I click the button. The error i get is:

Object Required: t2

This is on the line:

Code: 
strOut=wshShell.Run(RC4(t2.value, t1.value))

t2 is a txt input box-how would I make it an object??

Here is the entire code after modification.

Code: 
<html>

<head><title>Data Decryption</title>

<HTA:APPLICATION ID="oHTA";

  APPLICATIONNAME="Data Decryption";

  BORDER="thin";

  BORDERSTYLE="normal";

  SINGLEINSTANCE="no";

.title {
   font-weight:700;
</style>


<script type="text/vbscript">

Sub Window_OnLoad

   self.resizeTo 600, 400

End Sub

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strOut=""

Sub RunScript


strOut=wshShell.Run(RC4(t2.value, t1.value))

       
   Output.innerHTML= strOut

End Sub


 Function RC4(ByRef Key, ByRef Data)
    dim KeyBytes(255)
    dim CypherBytes(255)
    KeyLen=Len(Key)
    if KeyLen=0 Then Exit function
    KeyText=Key
    For i=0 To 255
      KeyBytes(i)=Asc(Mid(Key, ((i) Mod (KeyLen))+1, 1))
    Next
    if Len(Data)=0 Then Exit function
    For i=0 To 255
      CypherBytes(i)=i
    Next
    Jump=0 'Swap values of Cypher around based on index and KeyText value
    For i=0 To 255 'Find index To switch
      Jump=(Jump+CypherBytes(i)+KeyBytes(i)) Mod 256
      Tmp=CypherBytes(i) 'Swap
      CypherBytes(i)=CypherBytes(Jump)
      CypherBytes(Jump)=Tmp
    Next
    i=0
    Jump=0
    For X=1 To Len(Data)
      i=(i+1) Mod 256
      Jump=(Jump+CypherBytes(i)) Mod 256
      T=(CypherBytes(i)+CypherBytes(Jump)) Mod 256

Typed, untested:
Replace this:
t2.value, t1.value
with this:
Document.Forms("form1").Item("t2").Value, Document.Forms("form1").Item("t1").Value

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

Thanks for bearing with me here.

I am now getting an error on the following line:

Code: 
strOut=wshShell.Run(RC4(Document.Forms("form1").Item("t2").Value, Document.Forms("form1").Item("t1").Value))

The error is:

line 44 char 1 The system cannot find the file specified

Then the hta asks me to open another hta.

I am at a loss, thanks for your help.

I guess you wanted this:
strOut=RC4(Document.Forms("form1").Item("t2").Value, Document.Forms("form1").Item("t1").Value)

Thanks for your help, that generated a result without an error. It still opens another hta file though..any thoughts..

In the line you use Submit as the type. This may be appropriate for a web page but not in HTA.
For HTA change to Button as type
( )

See if that stops it attempting to open another copy.

change
Code: 
    <input type="[b]submit[/b]" name="B1" value="Submit" onClick="RunScript"></p><br>
to
Code: 
    <input type="[b]button[/b]" name="B1" value="Submit" onClick="RunScript"></p><br>
