I am trying to understand what the main difference between hta and html files is. I googled it and I found this:
The main problem is that javascript is buggy. For example the javascript: protocol does not even exist. Hta seems to prefer VBscript modeled coding instead of the javascript model, such as
<span style="cursor:hand" onclick=go()>
instead of<a href="#" onclick=go()>
. It's a windows exe so some cross-browser/cross-platform contructs of html are simply not supported or ill-supported. Also window resizing produces different dimensions.
I have some interactive plots (HTML5) generated by JavaScript codes. Are they gonna be functional if I transfer them to hta files?
