Try this-->
If you need any explanation let me know
Change the "C:\test.txt" to your directory where you wanna store it

<script LANGUAGE="Javascript">
 function WriteToFile(passForm) {

    set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");  
    set s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True);
    s.writeline("HI");
    s.writeline("Bye");
    s.writeline("-----------------------------");
    s.Close();
 }
  </SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>
<p>To sign up for the Excel workshop please fill out the form below:

This probably only works in MSIE and will definitely do nothing on the internet as your local file will not be available to anyone but your local computer.

Well you can create a folder within where your website is saved and call it "texts"
and instread of "C:" just do "/texts" and save it that way.
I was only using Local (C:) as a example not the correct way.
But thanks for clarifying a little.

and I do think the code I posted on works for IE, since Chrome and IE has different backbone setups.

Sorry I couldnt Help anymore then I did.

Thank to all... the problem solved.. i change the concept instead of using javascript to create the text..i asked for help from Mr. Python to create where i parse the string using ajax..

Thank You All. :punk:
