Re: Executing bat file in javascript

well, if you really _must_ write web server code in a bat file, you'll need
to configure the web server such that the bat file extension is treated as a
CGI program rather than as some text to be served to the browser.

However, if you've got a JSP file you clearly are running in a java
environment. why not make a JSP which runs the bat file (or better still,
one that does the processing that's currently coded as batch script). then
just point the button at the URL for the JSP
