You will notice you have to run the file as file:/// in your browser - if you try and run the .html page off a web-server (even on localhost), it will not work. Firefox (not sure of behaviour of ie) will pop-up a warning saying "a script on this page is trying to access you local file-system", etc.. and only if you click "Allow", will it allow the application to save files .. It's not something people traditionally think Javascript can do, and it is a bit strange to have a browser saving stuff to your file-system, and most people do think it must be some strange java applet or something, but its just javascript - on IE, it uses some ActiveX component, on Mozilla its the XPCOM interface .. I can point you to the JS function that saves files if anyone wants - i've actually found this idea quite handy in writing quick apps. > > javascript links can't be copied like html links ?? > > ** > also i know nothing about java and javscripts ;-) so there you go no worries - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript .. the two have some similarities in syntax, but otherwise are quite completely different things .. (well, in case you are interested ;-) ) all the best, Sanjay > > ram > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in >
