Javascript Open, Save and Write to a file

[kathyc20]

Is it possible to Open a file, read the contents of the file, update the contents and save the file.

If so, can someone point me at some documentation I can use.

Thank you.

not possible as it will cause security issues.

but as always all rule have exceptions. it is possible in IE browsers.

take a look at the ActiveXControl() method of IE...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

You'll need to investigate the FileSystemObject (the ActiveX control vbkris mentioned). I believe for Firefox, you can use some Java file io methods, although I don't know too much on this.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Outside the scope of this forum, a Java applet can also do the job
