hey,
I have been trying to set a variable in this activex script i got a while back from lrnmore a resident here...

I can't seem to get it right...I am hoping someone could add to my code:

a prompt box that asks the user: Name of file and extention?

the user would then type: someThing.txt (could be any name or ext)

and the text in the textarea would be saved as someThing.txt.

here's my code:

Code: 
<script>
function strtxt1(txt){
 var strObj = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
 var strFile = strObj.OpenTextFile('MyText.txt', 2, true);
  if(!txt) {
   txt = opener.document.alpha.beta.value }
   strFile.WriteLine(txt);
   strFile.Close();
}
</script>

again,

I am trying for a prompt box that asks the user what to name the file that is getting ready to be saved, which is the text in the textarea...to do this I would like to set a variable and place it in place of the "MyText.txt" string...

that way whatever name/ext the user types in the prompt box will be the name/ext the file is saved as... instead of how it is now defaulting to my pre-defined name/ext "MyText.txt"

thanks

co

Codeone,

How you been?

See if this will help you get where you're going.

Code: 
<html><head>
<script>
function strtxt1(txt){
var fileName = prompt('Please Enter a File Name..','Example: myfile.txt');
var strObj = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
var strFile = strObj.OpenTextFile(fileName, 2, true);
if(!txt) {
txt = opener.document.alpha.beta.value;}
strFile.WriteLine(txt);
strFile.Close();
}
</script></head><body>
<a href="Save As" onClick="strtxt1();return false;">Test Save</a>
</body></html>
