well the basic answer is yes for .class or .jar. how you do it depends on if you do it on the client (applet) or, if your server supports java, on the server (
JSP or
servlets). i believe you can run .exe using cgi. .java would have to be compiled first
for an applet, you can just load a different page containing the applet when the button or link is clicked. i've done that before. no javascript necessary if a link. for a button i used onclick
<input type='button' value='Sure, why not!' on_Click=\"top.frames[1].location='http://www.javaguy.dns2go.com/examples/Quiz.html'\">
(code looks a little strange because it is really part of a servlet)
(wish i could remember what the backslashes were for)
(had to add underscore for the forum to accept my post)
i had 2 buttons or i could have used <form action="URL"><input type="submit">
