create a text file using javascript
I am using the following code to create a text file using javascript and it's not working
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function WriteToFile()
{
var txt = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var s = txt.CreateTextFile("11.txt", true);
s.WriteLine('Hello');
s.Close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="WriteToFile()">
</body>
</html>
Answer
Try this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function WriteToFile(passForm) {
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
set s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True);
s.writeline("HI");
s.writeline("Bye");
s.writeline("-----------------------------");
s.Close();
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<p>To sign up for the Excel workshop please fill out the form below:
</p>
<form onSubmit="WriteToFile(this)">
Type your first name:
<input type="text" name="FirstName" size="20">
<br>Type your last name:
<input type="text" name="LastName" size="20">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
This will work only on IE
