HTML Application (HTA)

Posted on/at 10:52 AM by Admin

if you want to open HTML page or website as an C++ application,Windows Application or any .Exe application, just rename the HTML file from .html to .hta . HTA can be used for prototyping, making wizards, or building full-scale applications.

By the use of HTA, you will focus on the html page or website content and thereby you won't find the browser toolbars, address bar, menus, buttons ...etc.

HTA for internal applications usage:

if you have internal tools, Web-Based applications, like attendance module for all employees, development team portals, collaboration portals, time tracker system ...etc. you need the employees or colleagues to dont care about explorer bars and focus on the core of your application, it will be useful to use the HTA

Example:

OR,

you can use the following code:
