I think you cannot open pages that are not hosted in the same host the original page (the one with the JS code) is. (I am not sure now). Regards, Nelson.' You cannot use javascript to write files (assuming you want to save them, or the results of parsing the files). This is a security measure that every commercial browser uses. It prevents arbitrary scripts from reading, writing or modifying files on the client machine.You will have to use a server side technology like php, perl, or ruby. This can either be done as command line scripts or under the auspices of a web server. It sounds like you are looking at Curl 'c'+ url.

[OT] JavaScript with socket function
