Hi,
I know by using "save as" option, we can save the file in .mht format.
However, my concern is - I want HTML Code to perform this activity.
Can we write something in HTML using which we can perfrom above operation ?

HTML can't do this.

HTML is a "markup" language, ie, it describes content. It is not a programming language.

Even Javascript can't (or shouldn't) be able to do that, and it's a programming language! Why do you want to do it with HTML only? Could you not use a programming language? And which files are you trying to change the extension of? Files on the client or the server? If it's on the client, then that shouldn't be allowed.

Also, not really sure what you are planning on doing this for/to but if you make the browser something other than a recognized file type it will display in a plain text format.
