HTML Application

a simple page of code in HTML can be converted to exe. open the html page. click on view menu and click on source. This will give you the coding on a notepad. This you can save as <"filename.exe">. This will give you the exe file.

My dear friend, HTML is HTML, why would you want to make it an executable??? in any event, if you do what the previous answer suggests, the only thing you will end up with, is a useless file with an .exe extension. From your question I can infer that you want some sort of code protection. You have probably gone to sites and saw that the address on the bar was an .exe file right? he he, this my friend, are activex documents, which are programs that will run when called upon and PRODUCE HTML Codewhich will be sent in return to the browser. Now to make that kind of program, you will need to code it in a programming language capable of doing such objects like VB. Alternatively, you can use Active Server Pages (ASP) to create your web pages. ASP uses a reduced version of VB. It allows you to embed code in the page for execution when the page is called. The code you put there will be executed, and only the resulting HTML will be returned to the end user, so your code is safe and never seen. THEY ONLY GET THE RESULTS. Even if they click on the View Source Link, they still see only the result HTML.

Hope that helps.

HTML is a text file that is compiled by the browser to display on your screen. Do a search for javascripts that you can use to keep people from viewing the HTML source code if that is what you are concerned about. If you want something that is standalone, then just write an application that will display things like a browser would and distribute that to your clients.

Answer 1 is outrageous - I hope this individual is still looking for work!

HTML is a mark-up language and is only used for the presentation layer (ie. Viewing it in a browser). Are you talking about a game or animation sequence but have referred to it as an application? There are many types of file that can be delivered via a browser and it would help if you could be more specific.

If by compiled you mean that they can be executed standalone, without the aid of a browser (thus, in practice, we have an HTML reader with an embbeded file) then check out this utility:

Some help files, e.g. in Windows, come in a compiled form (they are even named compiled html and have an extension .chm). I believe they are created with a utility called MS Help Compiler Workshop.

Hope this helps.
