Hi Lars,
You want to embed some AppleScript inside a web site to be run from
Safari, which will launch your application. I know it can be done,
but I don't have the recipe at hand at the moment. I hope someone
else can help you with that.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Thanks for replies to my original question, but I guess either what
I had in mind and thought would be simple either isn't possible at
all, or I just didn't ask the question in a way that any normal
person could understand what I was trying to say. Sorry about
that. When I say "launch an app from a browser" I do not mean
launch or download an app on a server and I don't mean anything
involving file down or uploading or anything of the sort. I don't
mean anything involving any connection to the web or another server
or another machine at all. I just mean "launch" in the simplest
sense of the word - launch an app that resides on your hard drive.
For example on a Mac in Mac Help you are looking at the help file
for connecting to the internet. On that page in the help file
there are links"open network diagnostics" and "open network
preferences," which when clicked launch tose apps. These links do
exactly what single clicking on a dock icon does or douple clicking
on an app icon in the finder, or for that matter single clicking on
an app icon in the Windows start menu or double clicking on an app
shortcut on the desktop or on an app icon in the programs
directory. All I want to know is whether or not you can have a
hyperlink or button in an html document (that resides on your hard
drive) and is open in your browser and that launches another
application which also resides on your hard drive, exactly the way
clicking on a mailto link in your browser opens your mail app or
clicking on a link to a H.264 video file launches Quicktime
Player. Or just like clicking on a web link in a rev document
launches your browser and internet connection or using "launch" in
a rev script launches any app you want it to launch. In this case
the app I want to lauch is a simple standalone created in Rev.
Cheers,
Lars
