Written where? If on the client computer, you'll need to use ActiveX, which is IE only, or a cookie. If on the server, use server-side scripting, like ASP, PHP, Cold Fusion, etc.

Client side,OK to use ActiveX with IE only.
Still need the function sample code ...

Google is your friend. You could also do a search in this forum to find your answer.

var fs,file;
fs = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
file = fs.OpenTextFile('path/to/file.txt',2);
file.Write('The text to write to file');
file.Close();

The "2" on line 3 is the read/write mode:
1 = read file
2 = write to file
8 = append to file

The "Write" method can then be replaced with "ReadAll" to read from file.
