>that was what I found as well, and I couldn't even get that to work
well I have got a cut down example to sort of work (I said my js is a bit
rusty):-
(<> changed to [] to fool the net nanny)
[HTML]
[BODY]
[H1 unselectable="on"]Writing text to a local file[/H1]
[script language="javascript"]
function Writxt()
{
document.execCommand('SaveAs',false,'C:\\TEMP\\jsjsjs.txt')
}
[/script]
[P unselectable="on"]Click the button to turn the text into a file.
By default the text will be written to C:\TEMP\jsjsjs.txt[/P]
[P style="color=#3366CC"]The quick brown Fox jumps over the lazy dog![/P]
[BUTTON onclick="Writxt()" unselectable="on"]Click to write file[/BUTTON]
[/BODY]
[/HTML]
and yes, you are prompted before the file is written, but imho
execCommand-SaveAs is still against the spirit of the js sandbox and should
never have been released.
