Writing to local comptuer

[ryan_b83]

Hello I am trying to make a very small and simple script that only runs locally through a single html file. All i am trying to get it to do is have 2 text fields (name, and email). Fill them in, Submit. And store those values locally in a text file. The script will be run from my local computer aswell.

Now i know that javascript cannot access external files. But could this be done with cookies?

Thanks,
Ryan

Technically, yes, that would be possible ... setting the values in a cookie, retrieve the values and submit. But, why not just preload the form with said values?

I was trying to harvest names and email addresses at a tradeshow, so without an internet connection i didnt know any other way to do it via a web page.

Create an "HTML Application" and run it in IE. That should allow you to write to a local file.

Set up a web server on the computer you'll be bringing. Then you can have a local database and run a normal script that handles the form post. :)
