I think you should add information about the HTA tag and about HTC. 77.126.93.181 (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do browsers other than IE support HTA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.135.157 (talk) 09:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- The HTA mechanism uses the IE rendering engine. In other words, using an HTA is separate from using the IE browser. The article should be clarified if this is not clear. DonToto (talk) 12:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

XULRunner - What is the relevance to this article?

XULRunner was recently placed as a wikilink with no further explanation in the "See also" section. I think it would be helpful to indicate what is the relevance to this article on HTML applications. If there is no relevance, it should be removed, I think, but perhaps it could be included in the JavaScript category, or mentionned in the JavaScript article, or some more appropriate article.

HTA

Was it first appear in Windows Millennium? You only wrote it was introduced with IE5.

You can also add "Windows"'s components that uses in HTA, like: Windows ME - Guides, Windows XP - Add or Remove Programms, etc.

It may be important to say that HTA is completely based on the installed version of IE on the computer. In Windows Vista, Microsoft added for the fisrt time the possibility to remove the built-in Internet Browser - "Internet Explorer", without destroying the whole operating system (in earlier Windows versions, the file manager of Windows - "Explorer" and the Internet browser - "Internet Explore" were connected to each other), which is might be a bug for the HTA Engine (mshta.exe).

HTMLApp Studio & HtaEdit

There are two softwares around the web that helps working with HTA files:

HTMLApp Studio - the software has wizards for a few tasks dealing with HTA:
- Converting HTA to EXE.
- Generating a GUI (<HTA:APPLICATION> tag).
- Using server-side scripting languages, by running a server in background while the HTA is running.

The software is a Shareware and an Abandonware. The software is built in HTA and Python.

HtaEdit - a more advanced software - this one is an IDE for HTAs.

I think those softwares should have articles or at least a paragraph in this article. Galzigler (talk) 16:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
