Is JavaScript capable of creating, editing, reading or deleting files? I would like to have a button on my page that edits and saves a web page that is displayed on an iframe. I have everything except the JavaScript.

Thanks!:)

Where will you be in 100 years?

In general no, not unless the user has very low security settings. In some cases yes but not without the user being prompted. You can try and use the document.execCommand with the "saveas" command. See this link and look in methods.

Hmm...

Alright, I got it working. But that prompt won't do. It needs to be totally automatic.

Is there another language that can do that without the prompt?

Thanks a lot! :)

The only way to get these kind of things done automatically (in Internet Explorer) is when you user has lowered security, or has added your site to the list of "Trusted Sites"

Sites in the Trusted Sites list have low security applied. Most "dangerous" actions are just allowed, for others a prompt will appear. It is possible to allow all actions (bypassing the prompt), but your users will have to set this manually.

Think of it, it would be too easy (and dangerous) to allow these kind of actions without a prompt. You visit my site, and I write out 2,000 text files in the root of your hard drive... Lots of fun.... not. ;)

Cheers,

Everyone is unique, except for me.

I didn't realize what else could be done with those settings...

Ok then. The prompt will have to do.

Thanks for all the help!
