Re: Save to Local Disk

Hi Karl, Simply put a save button on your page. When it's clicked, pass document.forms[0].textareaname.value to the other script, (it's written in javascript, if you're familiar with that), then you'll access the content of the text box. to save it on a local disk, simply use javascript again, it will help you save a file on disk. [altough there are some security reasons which prohibit you write on the client's side, you can still do that using the below script] it's a good guide. however, you have to change some parts: <BODY> <FORM> <TEXTAREA NAME="output" COLS=60 ROWS=10 WRAP="virtual"></TEXTAREA><BR> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Read File" onClick="this.form.output.value= ''; fetchFile(this.form);" ID="2"><BR> <TEXTAREA NAME="input" COLS=60 ROWS=10 WRAP="virtual"></TEXTAREA><BR> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Save File" onClick="setFile(this.form.input.value);" ID="3"><P> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="New Window..." onClick="newRaisedWindow();" ID="4"> </FORM> </BODY> hope it works, Ahmad Anvari ----- Original Message ----- From: Karl J.
