Where will the file reside?

If on the server then you'll need to use a technology like ASP (Active
Server Pages).

If on the clien't computer then you can use FSO (FileSstemObjec t) but it
will issue a security warning.

<html>
<head>
<title>fsoClien t.htm</title>
<script language=javasc ript>
function saveData() {
alert(document. getElementById( "Data").val ue);
var sFIL = "C:\\Temp\\fsoC lient.txt";
var oFSO = new ActiveXObject(" Scripting.FileS ystemObject");
var oCTF = oFSO.CreateText File(sFIL, true);
oCTF.write(docu ment.getElement ById("Data").va lue);
oCTF.Close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<b>Data :</b> <input type="text" name="data" size="50" maxlength="50">
<input type="button" value="Save Data" onclick="saveDa ta()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

You cannot do that from the internet using Javascript.

Though there may be a way to do it with a .HTA in IE only,
but I do not know.
