Launching external program from javascript

Recommended Posts

Good Day

please note I am a newbie in javascript programming, so do not hesitate to comment the idea - I am more than willing to learn!

At the moment I am working in a project where I would like to include a link to an excel file. What I would like to do is:

a)create a link to the excel file;

b)when I click on the link, excel is executed and the file opened.

Until now, all I was able to achieve is that when I clink on the link, a copy of the file is downloaded. My idea is to open the original file so it is possible to edit and save in excel. Is this possible?

Just as a note, the excel file is in local and the HTML where the javascript is going to be included is expected to be executed locally too.

Maybe this is not possible? Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Many thanks
