I currently have a web app that uses ActiveX / JScript to read files and to read the registry for a web page. Originally when designing the page, it was supposed to be on a site that only supported IE…then things changed and it is no longer that way. My question:
HTML5 is able to read files. Is there any way to read registry entries outside of ActiveX and internet explorer using javascript/html? I’m trying to avoid having to port the entire applet over to use Java, but that may be my best method.
The page makes no modifications, it only reads text files and registry entries.
It is not possible without a third party plugin.
