Hi Tadit,
The code i have used is
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var FILENAME = 'D:\\IE Try\\PersonXML2.xml';

function SaveXMLData() {
var file = fso.CreateTextFile('D:\\IE Try\\PersonXML2.xml', true);
file.WriteLine('\n'); file.WriteLine('<personinfo>\n');

file.Write(' <Person ');
file.Write('Name="' + document.getElementById('txtname').value + '" ');
file.Write('Address="' + document.getElementById('txtadd').value + '" ');
file.Write('Address="' + document.getElementById('txtage').value + '" ');
file.WriteLine('></Person>\n');

file.WriteLine('</personinfo>\n');
file.Close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Name :
<input type="text" name="name" value="" id="txtname" /><br />
Address :
<input type="text" name="id" value="" id="txtadd" /><br />
Age:
<input type="text" name="write" value="" id="txtage" /><br />
<input type="submit" onclick="SaveXMLData()" />
</body>
</html>
The above code is generating an XML file ,every time i execute the html file it generates a new xml file with one row of data in it.
I need to append data to xml file , i mean every-time i execute html file ,it should add a new row to the same xml file.
Hope you will help me out with this!!!
and thanx for your Reply.
one more thing,the above code which i have posted runs only in IE Browser, that too after making some settings in IE.
settings are
In order to run safely you need to change setting of IE.

1. Go to Tools > Internet options > Security > Custom Level
2. Under the ActiveX controls and plug-ins, select Enable for Initializing and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe
