they support HTML5, CSS3 and latest JavaScript engine including latest ECMAScript features and beyond!Īnd since they use node.js you can use any of its built-in libraries (like FileSystem) or any of npm packages right in your DOM!
electron which I personally use and recommend.īoth mentioned options are based on Chromium (same as Chrome), Node.js and V8.NW.js (previously known as node-webkit).you can still use them or use another HTML Compilers like the one by David Esperalta, it's good enough for very simple apps, but they all depend on IE and we all know how limited and slow it is. hta applications are way out of date since they don't support modern design standards.
If these things will not work on FF or Chrome, do they have any alternatives which are modern and are not deprecated techs?. Can I add some of html5's local storage stuff to my hta file and will it still work on IE, FF and Chrome?. Will hta files, with no security issues or local access issues, automatically fire up Firefox/Chrome if IE is not installed on Windows (or other operating systems)?. Is the hta file still a modern technology for Internet Explorer which is still going to work in IE9, IE10?. I was searching around for Firefox, and it seemed Prism was an alternative to hta files, but if you go to Mozilla's Prism page it says it is a technology that is no longer being pursued. However, what if they are using Vista or above and have uninstalled Internet Explorer (as you are permitted to do)? What if their main browser is Firefox or Chrome? If the end user has Internet Explorer installed, I can easily port this to an hta file. (I do not want to recode my html5 or js.) Something they can use on their desktop without a live internet connection.
I want to convert a webpage html5/js page to a desktop application.
