Calling an executable may not work reliably across all browsers. You may need to lower your security settings (only a good idea for intranet applications) or work locally. To get the href of the link element, just pass this.href to the function called onclick.

[rnd me]

you can make up a mimetype, eg: "x-application/MyApp".

the user will be asked to select a program (in a browse box) to use in opening this unkown type of file.

the setting can be remembered, and bam!, your app is "installed".

in firefox however, the argument passed to the remembered .exe is not the actual data itself. it is the path of a temp file that, when loaded, contains the data you want.
