Lars-
If the publisher already has existing products like this, then they've
probably already worked out the cross-browser and cross-platforms issues,
which can be quite sticky. (You'll need to look at the navigator object
model properties)
What you're no doubt looking for is the <iframe> tag, which allows for
external content from an html page. Here's a whole (minimal) web page that
launches a rev stack on a Windows system (as long as the associated
application has been installed and registered to handle .rev file
extensions):
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="file:///c:/mystack.rev">
your browser doesn't handle iframes, eh?
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Note that actual executable applications can't be launched this way, for the
obvious security reasons.
