SaveAs Function question... 1

codeone · Jan 19, 2004

Hello,
I have a saveas function in my page and when it saves as either a text or html it adds this:

line one [] []

now they dont look like two brackets facing eachother they look like two black squares, I just made those as an example.

I think it is because the files are being saved as unicode, and I tryed all the other language options and they don't save the string they save the entire html document...

heres my code:

Code:

 <script>
  function save()
{
        str = document.forms[0].content.value;
	mydoc = document.open();
	mydoc.write(str);
	mydoc.execCommand(&quot;saveAs&quot;, false, &quot; &quot;);
	mydoc.close();

  }
</script>

Now is there anyway I can make this work without it adding the two black squares at the end of each line?

Perhaps a xml way or vbscript way or better javascript way...

thanks, and all help is most appreciated..

p.s. this is a client side project.

It's quite possible that those box characters are Carriage Return or Line Feed characters. Not sure about how to remove them, however.

Hi codeone,

Can you use ActiveX in your environment?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN&quot;>
<html><head><title>TEST</title>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function strtxt(txt){
 var strObj = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
 var strFile = strObj.OpenTextFile('test.txt', 2, true);
  if(!txt) {
   txt = prompt('What would you like to see stored?','Data Please..'); }
   strFile.WriteLine(txt);
   strFile.Close();
}
</script></head><body>
<textarea name=&quot;content&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot; cols=&quot;20&quot; onBlur=&quot;strtxt(this.value)&quot;>
</textarea>
</body></html>
