Javascript Output

Question:
How do you write javascript output to a file on the server and then retrieve it later?

Answer:
Unfortunately, like VBScript, JavaScript cannot write to files on yourserver or any other server. It is considered a security risk and istherefore not allowed.

About the only thing I can suggest is to create a CGI script of some sortto write your file for you. It’s probably not the best solution, butJavascript does not offer any alternatives.
