of course: since javascript cannot write files (if you want to do that: try
vbscript), you pass the value you want to save into a file to a servlet. if
you want to save the file on the server side you simply use a FileWriter,
FileOutputStream,... , if you want the want the file to be written on the
client machine you let the servlet write the value out to the client and set
the content-type to sth. the browser can't display directly: a dialog which
lets the user save the file pops up.
hope this helps!
