MS XMLDOM save method

[kurtrips]

I am trying to use M$'s XMLDOM's save method but it is doing absolutely
nothing.

xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load("bestscores.xml");
xmlDoc.save('123.xml');

(The code is in Javascript.)
I've tried relative paths/absolute paths/all sorts of permutations, but
nothing happens.
Has anyone else faced this problem? I hope i'm not missing anything.

Thanks

Where do you try to run that script code? Inside of IE save does not
work, you can use it in other host applications like HTAs (HTML
applications), Windows Script Host, ASP however.

See the remarks section in
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/0749c4f1-61fe-4d28-9d29-cd93a76f5475.asp>
where it clearly says that save(string) "is not intended for use from a
secure client, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer."
