I have some problem to write date to a file Test.txt by using JavaScript. I have find answer in good too but I am still can't solve it. This is my code
<script type="text/javascript">
function WriteFile()
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fh = fso.CreateTextFile("Test.txt", 8,true);
x=document.getElementById("name").value;
fh.WriteLine(x);
fh.Close();
}
And
<form>
<input type="text" id="name"/>
<input type="button" value="Save" id="write" onclick="WriteFile()"/>
</form>
I think it's should be run well by I the simple example I see from ebook.
I am not sure with path of Test.txt. I put it in the same forder in my localhost.
What am I doing wrong?
This the example you could go through:-
function WriteToFile(passForm) {
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
set s = fso.CreateTextFile("<your Path>/filename.txt", True);
var firstName = document.getElementById('FirstName');
var lastName = document.getElementById('lastName');
s.writeline("First Name :" + FirstName);
s.writeline("Last Name :" + lastName);
s.writeline("-----------------------------");
s.Close();
}
<form onSubmit="WriteToFile(this)">
<label>Type your first name:</label>
<input type="text" name="FirstName" id="firstName" size="20">
<label>Type your last name: </abel>
<input type="text" name="LastName" id="lastName" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/czxefwt8(v=vs.84).aspx it looks like you need to specify the full path for your file.
E.g. "C:\\Test.txt"
Update:
Just tested this in IE9 and it works.
<head>
<script>
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fh = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\Test.txt", 8, true);
fh.WriteLine("foo");
fh.Close();
</script>
</head>
