Is there any way to load/save/write files with JavaScript or any other web script? And could it save the file onto your computer?
I would use VBScript, but I am trying to make what I am working on work with other browsers too.

unless youre talking about server-side languages. I think that you cant(vbscript support is not universal). (Heeelp, i come so close to ending all my posts in this forum with ; )
EDIT:
Unless that is, so long as you dont want to cookie your users to death.

I could make them download this and extract it... or I could put it on a server and run it. (Download would probably work best so it would not take 3 million years to download the page; but either way luckily I made all the text boxs and "popups" as hidden DIVs ;D)
Cookies would work for saving some stuff... but not exactly what I had in mind.
(Also what about Loading files? I have seen PHP do this.. but I don't know PHP..)

Ya, I already had a thing on why I wouldn't do that..

Yes, you can, you can use the FileSystemObject. I don't have enough time at the moment to show you, but search the web for windows script 5.6 documentation and it'll tell you more.

FSO is VB, and not everything supports VBS. (I thought only IE supports it..)
And what if a Mac user wants to use what I am doing, do they support "windows script"?
Plus I am making this with javascript because I cannot use Visual Basics in actual programs at the moment, plus I have been extremely bored.

Oh, I see. No, the FileSystemObject is Windows only, and I think it only works in IE. It works in JavaScript (like with the MPQ Compactor) and it's not related to VB actually, I wish it was because it's so much neater than VB's file functions. At least, in my opinion heh...
If you want compatibility across all platforms, there's no built-in file-manipulation functions in JavaScript. You could try moving up to Java or Flash, but browsers will definitely have something to say if you were trying to access files on the user's hard drive directly.

FSO works with JavaScript??
I mean it loads a file they select..
Maybe I could find a way to do enough PHP to do the loading and stuff..?
Isn't there a way to generate HTML pages on a website? (As in it makes a link and it says "Right click this link and click 'Save As'")
I've seen that before..

<input type="file">

Assuming the HTML has <input type="file" name="uploaded_content" />, the PHP is as follows.
CODE
<?php
copy($_FILES['uploaded_content']['tmp_name'],$_FILES['uploaded_content']['name']);
$file = fopen($_FILES['file']['name'],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($_FILES['uploaded_content']['name']));
fclose($file);
if( file_exists($_FILES['uploaded_content']) )
{
echo("Upload succeded");
echo("<br />");
echo('<a href="'.$_FILES['uploaded_content'].'">View file</a>');
}
copy($_FILES['uploaded_content']['tmp_name'],$_FILES['uploaded_content']['name']);
$file = fopen($_FILES['file']['name'],"rb");
$data = fread($file,filesize($_FILES['uploaded_content']['name']));
fclose($file);
if( file_exists($_FILES['uploaded_content']) )
{
echo("Upload succeded");
echo("<br />");
echo('<a href="'.$_FILES['uploaded_content'].'">View file</a>');
}

It can have the 'name="upload_content"'
