You're going to have to have SOME sort of processing engine to use in saving the content. Javascript can't write to the file system, nor can it save data in long-term memory, unless the user doesn't close the browser. You might be better off using a PDF. That can store data in the actual PDF and save it for later.

Here's the thing. I'd like to caputure simple user data via a web brower without a web server. More detail: a) give a user an xhtml interface file or the like, who opens it with IE6/7 or Firefox(1.5/2.0); b) the user fills the form (XForm) and submits it (without any web server interaction/requirement); c) the user data is captured by/saved to a default local XML document. Use example (form elements): your name: your need: your contact info: Probably some facy javascript can do the job but it would be good to stick with some standards like W3C's XForms (read a bit on that), and the Mozilla's XForms Extensions for FireFox scared me off when its doc stated HTTP Server Requirements this and that (I would hope XForms's ACTION can support both online/server processing and offline/local processing such as transforming and capturing/saving the user data into a local XML file. Thinking loud here.
