Subject: Embedding AppleScript in HTML
Can anyone please guide me how to embed
AppleScripts in HTML page. Its urgent.
Browser must be Internet Explorer.
I'm afraid this question is a bit ambiguous. Do you want to embed
"runnable" AppleScript into html? There is an older, Netscape-only
solution for this:

though Bill Cheeseman seems to indicate that the "Flypaper" stuff
probably doesn't work on newer versions of Netscape and the Mac OS.
There is a web-sever plugin solution, offered as shareware:

Of course, it requires you to have a Mac webserver.
Otherwise, AppleScript is not an html-embeddable technology. It
"could" be, if someone could convenience the browser people to support
it, of course. This might be a nice thing for the Safari team to look
into. It would be a wonderful boon to much of my work if people at my
company could simply point a browser at our intranet and execute some
AppleScript code in a webpage. The alternative is the downloading of
applets, or OSAMenu scripts, etc, and when they get updated, everyone
has to go and download them again, etc. It would also be a major plus
for me because I am a JavaScripter, and having the two scripting
languages working together on one webpage would be very cool!
(Appropriate security measures would have to be implemented,
obviously).
If you are looking to take AppleScript source code and turn it into
"web presentable" format, <MacScripter.net> has many user-contributed
scripts for doing just that.
