writing the contents of a textbox to a file

[hhatwipro]

Hi Folks,

I have created a webpage which has 2 textboxes and a button

named "Write".

When the user fills in some string to the text boxes and clicks

the 'Write' button, the contents of textboxes should be written into

the some local file named "values.js".

Does javascript support writing into files?

If yes, please give me some detailed information on this.

Thank you all

hhat

Client side javascript can write to text files using ActiveX controls, this is a very limited way of doing this and causes security prompts but you can try something like this:
function save()

{var forWriting = 2;

var dataFile = "C://note.txt";

var ts;var fso =new ActiveXObject

("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

ts=fso.OpenTextFile

(dataFile,forWriting,true);

ts.Write(data.xml);

ts.Close();}
