I recently came across a JavaScript file in our source tree with lots of calls like
window.external.getParameter()
window.external.createGUID()
window.external.readStringFromRegistry()
and so on and I’m really confused about it.
Are these somehow native calls to the Windows API? And where can I find more information about all the available window.external namespace functions?
Have a look here… http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms535246(v=vs.85).aspx for info. I presume your site uses .NET?
Perhaps this will help too (possible duplicate): What is the use of window.external?
