Saving the Source Code

<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function viewSource()
{
window.location= "view-source:

http://www.sunday.com/Sunday";

}
</SCRIPT>

<BODY onLoad='javascript:viewSource()'>

</HTML>

The above code gives me the source code of whatever url I want. But is it possible to save it onto my hard disk as a text file. I want to take data from some weather site and update it into my database.

Any ideas?

thanks a lot.

Before asking such an obvious question you can try doing this yourself, what do you think?
Of course you can save the source as .txt file - I just tried it in IE5 and Mozilla. And of course this should be done manually - javascript does not have an access to your local filesystem.
