function doSaveAs(){
	if (document.execCommand){
		document.execCommand("SaveAs")
	}
	else {
		alert("Save-feature available only in Internet Exlorer 5.x.")
	}
}
</script>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Save This WebPage" onClick="doSaveAs()"
</form>
<br>
<font face="Tahoma"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.javascriptfreecode.com/"><span style="font-size: 8pt; text-decoration: none">JavaScript Free Code</span></a></font>

However, this code is only work in IE, It's not work in FireFox.
I would appreciate if someone can give me an advice.

You really need to use a server side language and save to a database. OR if the text area is small enough you can save the info in a cookie (can save up to about 4000 characters)

Also, why do you need a "Save As" ?

What the users do with this information ?
Will they need to reload this back into the text area ?
Will they need to print this info ?

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for your reply.

I'm create an html generator. You may take a look of this website www.malaysia-tractors.com for more detail.

What the users do with this information ?
As you can see in above website, you will notice that actually it's a website html generater.

Why i need the "save as button?
It's because i want to save the step of copying and pasting the content into notepad and save it as html format.

Will they need to print this info ?
NO.

Hope to hear from you soon.
