Hi Karl,
Simply put a save button on your page. When it's clicked,
pass document.forms[0].textareaname.value to the other
script, (it's written in javascript, if you're familiar with that),
then you'll access the content of the text box.
to save it on a local disk, simply use javascript again, it
will help you save a file on disk. [altough there are some
security reasons which prohibit you write on the client's
side, you can still do that using the below script] it's a good
guide. however, you have to change some parts:
<BODY>
<FORM>
<TEXTAREA NAME="output" COLS=60 ROWS=10 WRAP="virtual"></TEXTAREA><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Read File" onClick="this.form.output.value= '';
fetchFile(this.form);" ID="2"><BR>
<TEXTAREA NAME="input" COLS=60 ROWS=10 WRAP="virtual"></TEXTAREA><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Save File" onClick="setFile(this.form.input.value);"
ID="3"><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="New Window..." onClick="newRaisedWindow();" ID="4">
</FORM>
</BODY>
hope it works,
Ahmad Anvari

Subject: [PHP] Save to Local Disk
Hello,
I'd like to give the user an option to "Save to Disk" the contents of a text
area. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks!
