The FSO (File System Object) allows JavaScript to write to a file on the user's local computer but not on a Web server. This can only be done with a server-side language such as PHP, CGI/Perl, or ASP.

Yes, but the user will have to be online to do it. And it will save to their computer only. You will not be able to retreive the results. It's better to use a server-side language to do this anyways.

Unfortunately your grammar is more of a stubmling block than your explanation. If I caught all that, you want to have a file that is on the local computer to have a form on it. The user enters their name and password and then starts answering quiz questions on the form. When they are done, they click a button, JavaScript processes all of the information, and creates a file on the user's local computer with all of the correct answers, the answers they gave, and their username password. And then you want the page to redirect to the created page on their local hard drive to allow them to automatically view it?

1: That will take a lot of work;

2: it will only work in Internet Explorer, I believe;

3: I'm not so sure I want to do all that. :P

It's possible to open Notepad, and it's possible to save a file as a .txt file, and it's possible to open that .txt file.

It's possible to check if the username and password is valid, but it's not secure: anyone can get in and view the source and get the usernames and passwords.
