Creating/reading/editing files using Javascript
«

I've been reading on this since about yesterday, and I
thought
I had a script that would allow me to create a file, open it, save a string of text to it, close it, and then read it later on.
Alot of the sites I've been to say it's not possible because of security, but alot of them also say that if it's on your local intranet it should, in theory work.
Alas, it's not working in Firefox, I opened up my handy Javascript debugger, and it says "ActiveXObject is not defined", so if it's not defined, then why is it working in Internet Explorer? Here is the code I'm using:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Shangri-la (Option 002)</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var TristateFalse = 0;
var ForWriting = 2;
myActiveXObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
myActiveXObject.CreateTextFile("c:\\savefile.txt");
file = myActiveXObject.GetFile("c:\\savefile.txt");
text = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting, TristateFalse);
text.Write("key_aec73bccd39d5cc726ea564cc49d676f");
text.Close();
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<h2>The Prelude</h2>
<form method="get" action="savepoint_01.html">
<input type="submit" value="Save game?">
<form>
<p>
</body>
</html>

The ActiveXObject looks like a java class to me, I'm no expert with javascript but as far as I know IE has some unique classes that deal with ActiveX controls, which could be why it is only working in IE.
I wouldn't recommend you use this script online at all though, the security flaws in it are unreal!
