I am wondering if it is possible to execute JavaScript in a browser window using the command prompt in Windows. Is it possible to start chrome and execute a JS file in that new browser window, all from the command prompt?

    It's certainly possible to open a browser to a specific page from the command line... so you could put some JavaScript in an html page and launch a browser so it opens that page. – jahroy Jan 09 '13 at 22:47

I doubt it.

I just tried this though:

You can put javascript:alert("moo") in the browser's home page url setting, which will run as soon as you open the browser.
