create a file and insert a line

Question

I want that when the user presses the div, a new file will be created and the line: Testing 1, 2, 3. will be inserted.

I tried the next thing:

<div  id="rect0" onclick="CreateFile();" style="height: 85px; width: 85px; background-color:#ff0000; ">Hello</div>

<script>
    function CreateFile()
    {
       var fso, tf;
       fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
       tf = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\Log\\logJscript2.txt", true);

       tf.WriteLine("Testing 1, 2, 3.") ;

       tf.Close();
    }
</script>

So, you've done this, what's the problem? The snippet is correct (though for IE only). What you want to ask? — Teemu

I found this link: svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/core/jquery/plugins/jQuery.twFile.js what should I write in my javascript file? $.twFile.save("c:\\Log\\logJscript2.txt", "my line"); — Alon Shmiel

Sorry, JavaScript cannot do this. It's a huge security issue if it could. Imagine a browser downloading any file it likes without the user knowing about it like you propose here.
