Can local JavaScript edit/save files on same local machine? How using jQuery?

I don't think this is possible even in IE's trusted zone, at least not with pure javascript (you may be able to with an activeX control / maybe flash or silverlight with the right trust levels).

I don't think this is possible even in IE's trusted zone, at least not with pure javascript (you may be able to with an activeX control / maybe flash or silverlight with the right trust levels). It's a slightly different subject, but there is a writeup on HTML 5 local storage which may help for background reading: diveintohtml5.ep.io/storage.html.

I thought of that, but I really need to be able to save the file so that it can be opened by anyone in any browser from the shared drive in which this this thing resides. Thanks for the tip though. – Ben Jun 29 at 14:48 No worries @Ben, you might find some luck with trusted silverlight - but even then it probably will only write to sandboxed files.

Or unfortunatly may wish to look at alternative methods to producing what you need. You can probably save files with a firefox extension - but that seems a little overkill. – Alex Key Jun 29 at 14:52 A firefox extension may be the best solution for my tech knowledge.

That would make it easy enough to make work on others computers too. – Ben Jun 29 at 15:03 Glad to be of assistance, though seems like a lot of work to write out an html file. You may wish to approach your problem differently.

Perhaps considering a tool like WebMatrix to do your editing. – Alex Key Jun 29 at 15:08.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
