Scanning from HTML

[shman]

Hi,
Is there a way to automatically attach a scan option to HTML page? I want a add a button and clicking on the button user should be able to scan one or more documents from a scanner attached to the PC from which the user clicks on the button.
How to do this?

Thanks

Only if the web page is running under IE and is also local to the machine in question (ie: not served by a web server) can you do this.

Hi,
In my case the page is served by a web server.
Just curious - If the page is local, then what is the HTML code to add the scanner button?

thanks

Noway!

The security concept of HTML supposes that the pages couldn't effect on your machine

How would you like if some page will start to format your hard drive?

For a local page you would have to name it .HTA which would make it an HTML Application. Then the syntax for doing something is pretty much identical to the VBSCRIPT syntax since that's essentially what you'd be running.

(A) I think this is a cross-post, and (B) you'd need to find a VBScript forum. This is for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. SOme of us don't appreciate your utter disconcern of the guidelines.
