saving files using jscript

When we're saving a file to a local drive using javascript, a 'permission denied' error message is comming. We're using Activex object to do this and our OS is win98. Please tell me a solution for this. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

august,

If you mean save a file to the client's computer, try this:

Code:

// open the file....

var file = window.open("the_file.extension","file");

file.document.execCommand("saveas","","the_path_you_want_to_save_to");

file.window.close();

Otherwise, sorry, I don't know.

Ask the client to lower the permissions for the relevant zone.
