Hi Nick, I don't think you will be able to save anything programatically to the client machine from the browser.
I know of only two options or workarounds. Either you have to instruct the user to save the whole document from the file menu, or you can use a Flash swf or Java applet/program. At least you would have some possibility to save to the client's hard disk. The reason this is so restricted is that it is considered - rightfully - a BIG security risk.

I need some help with storing pipeline results on the client side. The ultimate goal is to have somewhere a button, which, when clicked, will provide a "Save as" dialog box, so that the user will be able to save the produced XML to his or her file system. When I was trying to implement that, I could not come up with anything better, than having a JavaScript enabled button, that will open a new browser window. Window's location will point to a pipeline which ends with an XML serializer with some non-default mime type (or I guess, I can make a reader for this purpose). As the result, the browser will not try to render the content, but rather offer a dialog box that prompts user to either select a suitable application to work with the file with or to save it to disk. Are there any more elegant solutions? Thank you very much for your time. Sincerely, Nick Goupinets. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
