Don't post the same questions twice.

<html>
<head>
<title>Save</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function save()
{
val = document.myform.text_area.value;
mydoc = document.open();
mydoc.write(val);
mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".txt"); //you can change the .txt to your extention
history.go(-1);
}

</script>
</head>
</body>
<form name="myform">
<input type="button" onClick="save();" value="Save">
<br>
<textarea name="text_area" id="text_area_id" rows="14" cols="40"></textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>

That will work in IE 5.5+

I just saw that you posted in four other forums (CGI, HTML, General, and Feedback), not including you double post in these forums. That is totally inappropriate. I suggest you go and delete those extra posts. Don't make people regret helping you. :mad: I am tempted to delete the answer that I gave you...

It works fine for me. You can only save as either .txt or .html, but you are able to save as both.

to change the default, change mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".txt"); to mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".html");

change mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".txt"); to mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,".ext");

I just tested with .php and it worked...

Talk in more than monosylables, ok? I'm giving you free advise here, and would hope that you appreciate it more than you are showing. What does your document.execCommand look like?
