In an html as the host, wscript is not available. That means its
CreateObject is also not available, but JS provides an alternative
function, ActiveXObject ...
var oShell=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
oshell.Run(oApp,1,true);
Note, that though the WScript object is not available other WSH
objects, like WScript.Shell, are resident in the wshom.ocx and
therefore they can be instantiated, regardless of the host.

Thank you, Tom!
That helps a lot!
I changed my code into ActiveXObject() and it works fine, except that
there is always an alert window appearing when the page is loaded. Is
there any way to get rid of the alert window?

This is a security issue with client-side scripting. The
Wscript.Shell object is marked as 'unsafe for scripting' - which it
most certainly is. Therefore, the user must decide to alter their
security setting to eliminate this warning. Fotr a detailed
discussion of the subject see:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript/msg/2780d2ce4c1d57b4?hl=en&dmode=source
A common alternative is to convert your HTML application to a
Hypertext Application (HTA) instead. This substantially reduces or
eliminates such security requirements. Most HTMLs only require
changing the extension from HTML (HTM) to HTA. However, the file then
becomes an application that must be downloaded to and run from the
user's machine. It is no longer hosted by their browser.

Hi Tom,
I really appreciate it.
The HTA solution really helps.
Thanks.
