The usual method to browse for filenames in HTML goes something like:
Of course you need to write out the data to be saved in your button event handler instead of just displaying it.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script language=VBScript>
Sub btnSaveAs_onclick()
MsgBox filBrowse.value
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type=button id=btnSaveAs value="Save As">
<input type=file id=filBrowse>
</body>
</html>- Thread starter

hey,
thanks for that script it works and all, but isnt what I need, Im looking to be able to specify my own name for the file thats getting svaed...sorry should have explained that better... so yeah,
just the name the file thing would be enough, and it must save the contents of the textarea.....

I don't know of any "save the text to disk" capability in HTML. You'd need to write it out via the FileSystemObject or something. Then you'd need to deal with the warnings about "unsafe for scripting" objects and all.
Or am I still missing the point?
