writting files

[Fernando Fernández]

Hiii people.

I have a question. Is it possible to write a text file using JavaScript?

mmm... and it's all, it's a very simple question... and I am afraid of the
answers :s

Ok, best regards from Palma de Mallorca

Yes, when there are host objects available or creatable to do so. You
can certainly do it for instance with JavaScript in WSH or ASP or HTA.
See

Inside the browser such host objects for file system access are usually
not provided or only provided under certain restrictions (e.g. when the
HTML document with the script is also being loaded from the local file
system).

Mozilla/Firefox uses XPCOM/XPCONNECT technology for file handling. It
is however a bit more fiddly than the Scripting.FileSystemObject for
IE. See:-
