Opening Browser Instances from different Vendors

199 views Asked by At

I know the subject is a little bit weird, but I have given it because I got a requirement for my client to open IE instance from Chrome browser.

I know this question has been asked many times, but since it's my client requirement I can't ignore. They have upgraded the application on latest browser but one of the functionalities is still only supported by IE browsers only. I know one way I can do is to create a HTA file and open the default browser but still it's a big pain to integrate HTA in javascript(Please let me know if any ideas). Also creating ActiveXObject for WScript.Shell in Chrome browser is pain.

Please guide me how can I impress my client as it's all about my small business.

Thanks
