Welcome

You could use ActiveX, but thats not reccommended unless its an intranet where everyone is using IE.
Really you need a serverside language.

it's for personal use only. i was planning on a way to write notepads on my active desktop.

You can get away with it using Java Applets and MS ActiveXControls..
you can even find answers to this in these forums..just do a search
