Hi there,
i'm trying to create a javascript function that would create a text file so i can write some informations in it and read it later.
I'm using the "ActiveXObject( "Scripting.File SystemObject")" ,

var fso;var thefile;

fso = new ActiveXObject(" Scripting.FileS ystemObject");
thefile=fso.Cre ateTextFile("c: \\test.txt",tru e);

fso.close()
}

but nothing is happening,

so please help me,
Thank u

I am not familiar with Active X, but when I tried your code on my computer, the error said that the object doesn't support that method ( fso.close() ). The code worked fine without the fso.close() and successfully created a file named test.txt.


Hope I helped :).

Use thefile.close() instead of fso.close().

This will probably only be supported on IE browsers. Also, allowing a web page to create files is a security hole. If you need to just remember values why not use cookies instead?

Thanks for ur advice, but im trying to make a login page that allow to save username and password, just like the " Hotmail " page where a user has 3 option to log in:
1-Save my username and password on this computer
2-Save my username on this computer
3-Always ask for my username and password

If u have an idea to help me with such page ,i will appreciate that,

Thank u

You should look up the use of cookies. They are designed to do exactly what you're talking about without having to be IE only and without the security crappiness.

I am getting some error like unboxed type error when I am converting nullable Int64 variable when I am getting a null from database,it is ok when it is returning some value .
Look at the following code :--------------

Int64? Approval_Dateti me = (DR["Approval_Datet ime"] == DBNull.Value) ? null : (DateTime?)DR["Approval_Datet ime"]; //It is O.K.

Int64? Approved_By_Adm in_Id = (DR["Approved_By_Ad min_Id"] == DBNull.Value) ? null : (Int64)(DR["Approved_By_Ad min_Id"]); //here I am getting error like unboxed type when I am getting null value from database

How will I be able to overcome this ..
Can anybody help me?
