I read that it's out of the scope of javascript to read/write to/from a file. But I was wondering if there's a way to get the values of a form and place them into an html list w/o using any server side scripts like cgi/asp.

Thanks in advance...

you can probably use XML to get this done,There ae few issues though.

1.if you want to import an xml file in HTML document,it will only work in IE5.5
2. if you want to directly access XML in browser and apply XSL to it it will work in
IE5.5 and NS6+
3. if you embed XML in HTML that way your XML document will be shown in HTML when some one will see the source code,however it should work for most DOM compliant browsers
