Use a form to write to a pre-existing XML file

mechro99 · Jun 17, 2005

Hi,

I'm trying to create a program that will contain an offline html form to enter personal information. I'd like to save that information to an XML file.

All this must be done with client-side scripting, since it will be offline. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Dan

Have a look at "document.innerHtml" property. It'll return the full HTML page content (all that is between <HTML> and </HTML> tags) as an XML DOM Document. After, save it with save("localpath") method.

Can you give me an example of how to use that property? Do I use it in the form action?

Well, I searched a bit and found that when I did it, it was in an intranet with a very precise target (IE6 on win2000 pc) so I used the "Microsoft.XMLDOM" activeX to achieve this.
