Can we able to access the local file to JavaScript or VB Script? If no then how the browser write the cookie value in client side?

hi,
it is possible when the server is your local machine. i think using javascript we can't do any file handling. The cookies are maintained by the browser.

Hi, you can do that with using ActiveX to access local file. By using Script.FileSystemObject

but almost all browser IE doesn't activate the ActiveX, so you must turn it on in your browser.

Hi tecquilla,
I enable the activex in IE like below
1. In Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level
2. Enabling or prompting "Initializing and Script Activex controls not marked as safe"
Code:
function WriteToFile() {
try
{
var fso, s;
alert(1)
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
alert(2)
s = fso.CreateFolder("C:\\test.txt", true);
alert(3)
s.writeline("This is a test");
alert(4)
s.Close();
alert(5)
}
catch(err)
{
alert(err)
var strErr = 'Error:';
strErr += '\nNumber:' + err.number;
strErr += '\nDescription:' + err.description;
document.write(strErr);
}
}
WriteToFile();

But when i execute this scipt it throws the error "Error: Number:-2146827838 Description:Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"

How to solve this?

Thanks Vims,
Its working fine in IE But not in firefox. Do you have any idea?
