[thelist] form field to text file?

[Raymond Camden]

The text file is made on the web server? Then it has to be server side.
There is no way a browser can force your server to create a text file. That
would be a major security problem. Do you mean a file on the client side? If
so, you can use signed javascript or java applets to do that.
