mac browser to launch program client side

[gnatkased]

Hi, i posted this under HTML & Browsers, but then realized there may be more here that know the answer.

An associate of mine has written a VB script which allows a browser to launch a program on the client's computer when prompted. It works just fine with Windows, but obviously not for the Mac.

Can someone suggest a scripting language that would do the same for a Mac browser, and, ideally, one that would handle PC's too?
If you could specify with an example script, so much the better:)
