javascript has pretty strict permissions when run via the browser
itself, so I would say no. Unless you instruct your user to run the
Javascript via the system itself... but you can't expect that from a
simple user.
Besides that, a user can choose to turn off JavaScript, or even make it
run some new JavaScript code specific to that site, with a click of a
button in most modern browsers, and giving the user the ability to
completely spoof a part of your control system is never a good idea ;)
