Hello, I have a HTA file that after a confirmation box, redirects to another site. My problem here is that when I launch this, the web page loads but then IE (internet explorer) Keeps opening its self up with one line of java script code in the address bar. The windows continue to pop-up untill I close the hta. After a few seconds the windows crash and leave an alert saying

The web page says:

Internet explorer cannot be downloaded

Unspecified error

Close.

The problem came around with the redirect code.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=WEBSITE"></HEAD>

Have you tried increasing the value of the integer inside content?

I tried what you suggested, no luck. Though the address bar field changed... It seems to have removed the page script error (Didn't change anything before).

One small question - is your default browser Internet Explorer, because I know certain programs or certain file types will open to your default browser.

I switched it to FF years ago. I read up some and it may be that the site is purely a flash site. Something to do you with calling javascript in the .swf file it self. Although I do not completely believe this is the problem.

Doing some research about HTA, because this is one of the first times I have ever heard of it, I did find most people saying that HTA will really only work in Internet Explorer because Microsoft is behind it. Firefox, and the other browsers see HTA as a security threat for what it can do (read your files etc.). While there was one or two plugins (most likely outdated) about HTA. I did stumble upon some notes by a guy who said he managed to get HTA to work on the other 4 major browsers using "the same mshta executable".

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
