Hi,
Am unable to open javascript SaveAs dialog box in Firefox browser. Following is the script,
<a href="javascrip t:void(0);" onclick="docume nt.execCommand( 'SaveAs',false, '*.xyz');">Save this page</a>
The above script works fine in IE. Can anyone please let me know how do I make the SaveAs dialog box open in Firefox browser.
Thanks,
Sanjay

execCommand("sa veas") is not supported in Firefox.

It is generally a bad idea to try and include direct local access as part of your web app program design. There are a lot of restrictions on doing local access, and for good reason. The execCommand() function only works in IE, and only if the user's security settings are low enough.
If you have access to the server side logic you can send a request for the file to the server, and then have the server set the HTTP Response MIME type to a made up value like "applicatio n/unknown" that will get the browser to open a dialog box to save the file.

Hi All!
I am using Javascript to export some content in a popup (in this case, just 5 simple words) to a text file. This works fine and the user can save the text file.
Upon opening the file, it appears to be just a basic text file, however, i encounterd a problem importing this into flash (thats another story!). The text file needs to consist of just a line of text for the import (ie. word1=hello&word2=world), this is how it appears in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
