Javascript: How To Append Data To A File
Solution 1:
I just realized these in your code:
var fileObject = fso.OpenTextFile(filepath, 8,true);
You'll need the true-argument, if the file does not exist, or you want to overwrite/append it.
var filepath = fso.GetFile("member.txt");// This won't work.var filepath = "your_filePath"; // Use this insteadvar fileObject = fso.OpenTextFile(filepath, 8, true);
OpenTextFile() needs a path as a string like "D:/test/file.txt". GetFile() returns an object, which you can see as a string (D:\test\file.txt), but it's not a string. Use also absolute paths, relative paths don't seem to work by my experience.
EDIT
Add the code below to the <head>-part of your html-file, then save locally as a hta (with file extension hta, not htm or html).
<hta:application
applicationName="MyApp"id="myapp"
singleInstance="yes"
/>
Then run the hta-file. If you still getting an ActiveX-error, it's not supported by your OS. If this works, you haven't done all the security settings correct.
EDIT II
In this case it's not very usefull to get the path through ActiveX, you'll need to write it literal anyway. And I'm not supposed to do your homeworks, but this does the trick...
var filepath = newString(fso.GetFile("member.txt")).replace(/\\/g,'/');
And don't forget what I've said above about using absolute paths...
Solution 2:
The 8 in the OpenTextFile function specify that you want to append to the file. Your problem comes from the security restriction of your browser. To make it work you'll have to lower the security level, which is not really recommended.
Solution 3:
The error is thrown because there are security restrictions which donot allow the activex to run. change your security settings to allow the activex if your using internet explorer (which i think you are). This might be useful http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/ie-activex Cheers
EDIT: i have doing what's written on this, and it still not working :/ * try Restarting your browser
Solution 4:
As pointed out in this comment
Javascript: how to append data to a file
the cause of the error Error: Automation server can't create object is the typo in the progid passed to ActiveXObject: Oject instead of Object:
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemOject");
there is a missing b!
