HTML Application
An HTML Application (HTA) is a Microsoft Windows program whose source code consists of HTML, Dynamic HTML, and one or more scripting languages supported by Internet Explorer, such as VBScript or JScript. HTML is used to generate the user interface, and the scripting language is used for the program logic. An HTA executes without the constraints of the web browser security model; in fact, it executes as a fully trusted application. The usual file extension of an HTA is .hta . The ability to execute HTAs was introduced to Microsoft Windows in 1999, along with the release of Internet Explorer 5. On December 9, 2003, this technology was patented.
