var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.run("Firefox http://www.google.com");

How can we force a link to open a URL in a different browser? [^]

Activex will not run on chrome. The above script will launch chrome from I.E, but my requirement is other way. Execute Activex in chrome and run application on client machine using javascript.
