get a command prompt


Hi don't think this one is possible.
on win7 party site, i have a emu of win7 desktop! I added a bsod for fun!

now what i'd like to do, is click on the c:>_ icon, and pop up a bash shell, or dos prompt or whatever a mac does.

any ideas? if not i'll just put a webpage looking like one!
not bothered what lang.

php i seem to recall might do it.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking here. You want to be able to start a terminal on the machine that is viewing your page?

What are you using to display the "emu of win7 desktop"? Is it running in an X-based window? Which OS is generating the image and which OS is it being viewed on?

Sorry gang, I was in a rush. Its a stupid website for my win7 virtual launch party. Well it's only fair, they have sent me disk.

Most of it is writtin in JS. So I though it would be fun to open a terminal window on the host machine.

It's not important, but would be fun. It's being served by a linux ubuntu jaunty box.

it's not that sophisicated.

I haven't looked at the source, maybe you can lend some of that code.
