Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. You can find the following examples here:

SiteKiosk Chrome JavaScript DOM Manipulation: https://devblog.provisio.com/post/2019/05/17/Manipulating-the-DOM-within-the-SiteKiosk-Windows-Chrome-Browser.aspx

Here is the call to launch your executable (SiteKiosk Chrome): https://devblog.provisio.com/post/2016/05/20/Starting-External-Applications-from-Web-Pages.aspx

Your website needs permission to run the code, you can add your website in the SiteKiosk configuration>>Access/Security: https://www.sitekiosk.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Help/en-US/default.htm?access.htm#three

Wildcards (*) can be used if you want to specify only the domain. Also, note that coding support is not part of our Standard Support provided.

Best regards,
Andre.
