HTA's; use other browser to host?

Question

If Microsoft\'s method for using IE as a local host for HTA\'s then, can I use any other browser instead?

Answer 1

Just to be clear: It is not IE nor MSHTMA that really renders a webpage. The rendering thing is partly build into the OS. Thus, things like Active Desktop (does anybody remember that XP thing?) or .HTA or .CHM work without IE. It's just the same way to recognise some HTML things.
