I 99.9% sure you can't execute an program on the web like that.

and i'll second that, but with an additional .1% of certainty.

Yup, they are both correct. You can't run .exe programs because of some security issues between the users computer and something or something like that. A way around might be to get the cat following the mouse into JavaScript format, I'm sure It's possible.

Are you sure? cos I noticed a web site (which I usually visit) does have a .exe as the URL.

check this out.

and it will forward you to :

http://www.ht.com.au/Scripts/xworks.exe?M

obviously, not the cat & mouse type of exe... but it depends on how you write the executable, isn't it?

Well, If I remember from my big book, a website cannot tell your browser or your computer to run a program off of your computer. It may be possible to run a unique .exe program through the server, but I am quite unsure. Other than that, I don't know much else.

as far as the poll rating your site... that was a pretty lame ploy to get people to click on the "top 10 links for programmers". Enough with the damn popups!

That is a special kind of executable file written in some language like C++ that runs through CGI which of course is going to run on a MS IIS server.

Exactly what I was going to say spookster, this is either a strange coincidence or you are the same person but I have encountered a thread just like this before with a person wanting to have a cat that follows the mouse cursor...

I have seen things like that done with javascript with a mouse following the cursor and it would actually change the image when you changed direction, can't remeber the url though.

You could just make your site flash.

Also I may be the only person who feels this way but I think a poll for rating your website is a really bad idea, you should just ask the question as you will get a lot more feedback on things that people like or don't like.
