Save As Word document using execCommand

[zaidalin79]

Hi all, I am trying to add a button to my webpage that opens the save as dialog box, and allows the users to save the page (it is a form) as a word doc... I used this code which does work, but only allows to save as a txt or html file... Is there any way to make it so that they can save it as a .doc file to be able to edit it later?

[HTML]<input type="button" value="Save Form" onClick="javasc ript: document.execCo mmand('SaveAs', '1','EvalForm') ;"/>[/HTML]

Being non-standard code, it'd difficult to say for certain, but I think you'll probably have to do something server-side and let the user download it instead. That's actually better, because it would work in more browsers rather than just IE.
