  <p>I am very familiar with web-based JavaScript as it relates to html and canvas, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make a complete standalone application using javascript that would NOT open in a browser.  Is there any GUI or command prompt that would allow me to do this?</p>
  
  <p>If not, I might be open to writing some other program that could read html, as Notch did with the Minecraft login screen.  Is there an easy way to do this?</p>
