In Win7, I want to pass an arbitrary integer as the return code or Errorlevel from an HTML/Javascript file back to the batch file that started it.

Is there some way I can use javascript in the HTML program to set the return or Errorlevel code?

Edit:

WooHoo! Thanks! Yeah, my IE executes the sample HTA code.

That leaves the question of how I can manipulate the Errorlevel code from out of javascript in an hta program. The wikipedia blurb says I can control the system from an hta file, but javascript doesn't seem to have any commands to do so, even though hta allows it.

I still feel like one of those paralyzed 'locked-in' patients who have to communicate by trying to blink their eyes.

You have reached HTA, now, the rest of the problem can be handled with [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/20823905/2861476) – MC ND Apr 26 '15 at 08:47
