Answer 1

ActiveXObject is only available in the IE browser. Therefore, every other user agent will throw an error

In a modern browser, you can instead use the File API or API to write files (currently only implemented in Chrome )

Answer 2

ActiveXObject is non-standard and is only supported by Internet Explorer on Windows.

There is no built-in cross-browser way to write to the file system without using plugins, even a draft API file provides read-only access.

If you want to work with a cross platform, you need to look at things like signed Java applets (bearing in mind that this will only work on platforms for which the Java runtime is available).

Answer 3

A web application can request access to an isolated file system by calling window.requestFileSystem() . It works in Chrome.

 window.requestFileSystem = window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem; var fs = null; window.requestFileSystem(window.TEMPORARY, 1024 * 1024, function (filesystem) { fs = filesystem; }, errorHandler); fs.root.getFile('Hello.txt', { create: true }, null, errorHandler); function errorHandler(e) { var msg = ''; switch (e.code) { case FileError.QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR: msg = 'QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR'; break; case FileError.NOT_FOUND_ERR: msg = 'NOT_FOUND_ERR'; break; case FileError.SECURITY_ERR: msg = 'SECURITY_ERR'; break; case FileError.INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR: msg = 'INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR'; break; case FileError.INVALID_STATE_ERR: msg = 'INVALID_STATE_ERR'; break; default: msg = 'Unknown Error'; break; }; console.log('Error: ' + msg); }
