Description

This sample demonstrates a simple HTML application (called HTA), a new Internet Explorer 5 feature that enables building full-fledged applications using the MSHTML technology that underlies the Internet Explorer browser.

More Details

HTA are authored using DHTML and script in the same way as web pages. However, HTA run in their own window that they control corner to corner, instead of running within the browser frame with Internet Explorer's menus and toolbars, as HTML pages do. To make a web page into a full-featured application, an author can add a few special HTA declarations to specify application icon, window size, window border, system menu, and so forth.

Browser/Platform Compatibility

If Internet Explorer 5 Beta is not installed, the default "Open With..." dialog will appear.

Usage

HTA could be used for web applications, forms applications or web authoring tools.
