im trying to make a webpage and i dont know if what im thinking is possible. im just wondering if its possible to run a program in a webpage. My sister is a programmer and she had this keygenerator thing. Im not trying to make illegal actions here, coz basically my sister made the software so the whole thing is legal. so im asking can i embeed the keygen on the webpage and run it on the webpage rather than creating an exe program that runs separately.. hope you can help. thank you

she made a keygen not for any other software but for the software she authored. just to clear things coz you might be thinking she only made a keygen. SHE made a very basic software and at the same time a keygen for the software

You can run a program directly in a web page using CGI, but the program has to be written to use CGI for input and output. If that's not practical, you (or your programmer sister) might be able to write a script that would run the program in the background and deliver its output to the browser.

If it is a standalone graphical application, then the answer is almost certainly a "no but".
If it is written in Java then it should be relatively easy to create an Applet version. This will work for most users, but will require them to have a JVM installed (and most users don't). This is a free download from http://java.com/
If it is written in a Microsoft language then it might be possible to turn it into an ActiveX control (but this will only work for Internet Explorer users with lowish security settings, so is very ill-advised).
A lot of the code involved can probably be reused as a library for a server side script written in Perl, C or some other language. This would require a complete rewrite of the UI though.

you can have web programs, your sisters may not be written in a compatible code, also just because she wrote the keygen program, it is more what it will be used for that might raise the issue of legality

i don't think it can be done...
cause the web programming and desktop programming have a lot of different.
web programming is use an intrepeter, and desktop programming use a compiler...
might you just need to convert the code (the logic one) into the Web Programming....
