I suspect that the OP wants the script to run on the client. However,
a long, long time ago Microsoft recognised the security implications
of permitting the calling of objects in client-side scripts and just
about put a stop to it. FWIW, I fell foul of this in 1996/97 when the
parts of a web application I'd written to use Word and Excel
client-side to format data suddenly stopped working.
