I have developed a standalone visual basic executable containing data that i wish to be accessible through the councils website. Is there a way that i can embedd the program in a webpage, using dreamweaver, so that it would be possible for the user to use the program 'Live' rather than having to download it. I susspect that the answer requires a java script?

Regards

Ian Grand

Ive already tried this or so i believe. I developed a page a while back, which embedded a virtual world in VRML see below.

<td width=&quot;51%&quot; height=&quot;485&quot;><embed scr=&quot;Ian Borgoattempt.wrl&quot;
name=&quot;Scene&quot;
width='100%'
height='103%'
align='centre'
border='NONE'
navigation='0'
contextmenu=&quot;FALSE&quot; src=&quot;Ian Borgoattempt.wrl&quot;>
</embed></td>

so ive rehashed this code to the one below, but the following noticed is served: No viewer available possible location Microsoft Activex Gallery. Any idea what i need to do?

<td width=&quot;54%&quot; height=&quot;485&quot;><embed scr=&quot;Project1.exe&quot;
name=&quot;Project1&quot;
width='100%'
height='103%'
align='centre'
border='NONE'
navigation='0'
contextmenu=&quot;FALSE&quot; src=&quot;Project1.exe&quot;>
</embed></td>
 

Hi Ian:

No solution here, but a question if I may.

Have you really considered the safety issues involved in embedding an executable in your web page. If some nasty person was to hack the site containing your executable and replace that executable with malicious software, your reputation would be shot, and perhaps your pocketbook. There are loads of such miscreants looking for opportunities to ply their immaturity.

Would you want your customers to be that angry at you for going such a dangerous route, uhm?

Just something to ponder.
