    You have to use the complete path to the desktop.

    Please learn how to read the error message. It tells you the exact problem.  Please do not post fuzzy images. Just copy and paste text to a posting control provided on the edit bar.

    The following function structure does not look like JavaScript at all.

    JavaScript Structure : Function eTTE (id, type, name, fn){}

    Following Structure : _eTTE : function(id, type, name, fn){}

    Could you please give me any suggestions on what kind of language it is?

    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

    //export to excel option
        that.$equity_option.find(".ete").on('click',function(e){
            that._eTTE('equity_option','xlsx',''+that.product+'_Options');
        });
    _eTTE : function(id, type, name, fn){
            var that=this;
            
            var wb = XLSX.utils.table_to_book(document.getElementById(id), {sheet:"Sheet JS"});
            var wbout = XLSX.write(wb, {bookType:type, bookSST:true, type: 'binary'});
            var fname = fn || name + '.' + type;
            try {
                saveAs(new Blob([that._s2ab(wbout)],{type:"application/octet-stream"}), fname);
            } catch(e) { if(typeof console != 'undefined') console.log(e, wbout); }
            return wbout;
        },

    Web browser JavaScript cannot be executed by PowerShell.  JScript (also uses 'js' extension) can be executed from PowerShell.

    What you have posted is browser based JavaScript.  It will not execute under PS  without having some sort of execution facility.

    Post in a web developers forum for help.

    Neither.  It is likely a bit of a web page.

    The code is proprietary code for the Hong Kong Exchange.  It cannot be executed independently of a browser and their web sit.

    JavaScript run on client-side, then why it cannot be implement independently under PowerShell.

    Furthermore, what kind of process do they use on handling sessions? which does not seem using cookies.

    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

    Well that ia a very long story.  JavaScript doe not run on Windows under the OS.  It runs under a browser.  PowerShell and Windows have no facilities for executing JavaScript.  The JScript is a subset of JavaScript that run under WSH (Windows Script Host) which can be run from PowerShell or CMD.EXE.

    JavaScript is an industry standard browser/HTML scripting language.

    I should probably note that some JavaScript can be executed from C# and possibly under PowerShell with help.

    Your script was designed to run as a web page and would not work in this mode.  It is also missing at least some library API files.

    If you want to play with it see this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4744105/parse-and-execute-js-by-c-sharp

    If the sessions are handled by JavaScript under client-side's browser, can it be imitated and converted the process using JScript under PowerShell?

    Do you have any suggestions?

    See the link I just posted.  You script requires a browser and other items.  They all have t be resolved to the satisfaction of the web site.  Contact the website to get the documentation for their web services as they likely have an API that can be used from PowerShell. We cannot help you with that. It is up to you to gather and understand how their software works. Most Securities exchanges require a special login to access data programmatically. They also do a good job of preventing anyone from gaining access using forwarded browser code. This is done to protect revenues and for security reasons.

    No.  You have to ask the vendor for that information.  We cannot help you.

    This is not the right forum for "how do I retrieve data from a specific web site" questions. You need to ask the owners/developers of that web site your questions.
