[jQuery] Open/Play Server side files

Hi,

I just want to  know is there any way to open the server side files with the respective programs via jquery/php/javascript.

For eg, if a text file is in server side we need to open it via our notepad or any text editor. Similarly images via paint.  Similary open Audio/Video files with the respective programs.

I believe, we can view the text/html/image files as a html page by using ajax load functions (.load()), but we couldnot open the audio/video files. Is there any way to do as I mentioned above.

Thanks in Advance.
