I was wondering, if there was any way, using Java/Javascript, that a file
could be uploaded and executed as a webpage was opened without the user
knowing?

Scott,

That's what happens when an applet executes. The user may see 'Starting
Java...', but your applet doesn't have to display anything if you don't
want it to.

Of course if the applet is invisible to the user, I'd have to ask what
the point of having it on the page is?
