Hello forum.

Is there a way of smoothly converting my responsive HTML5 output to a HTA file. I like the new azure layout but dont want to run it as a web page. Can this be done.

Many thanks.

Greg

According to the article below an HTA extension turns a web page into a web app.

HTML Applications - HTA Files (HyperWrite Article)

This is the first time I have seen any such request anywhere and I follow many forums. I'm not seeing what converting a responsive output would achieve over leaving it as designed. What are your reasons for wanting to do this?

Hi Peter, thank you for the quick response.

I am simply looking to create a web app rather than a web page for my help file. Personally I feel the web app approach is cleaner, i.e no address bar or buttons. I have tried the renaming method but it duplicates headers and just look naff.

Try scrolling up a bit?

If it still isn't there, just right click and choose to add it.

Cheers... Rick


Spot on Rick brilliant. Thanks
