I am using the following code to create a text file using javascript and it's not working
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function WriteToFile()
{
var txt = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var s = txt.CreateTextFile("11.txt", true);
s.WriteLine('Hello');
s.Close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="WriteToFile()">
</body>
</html>

It is basically a JavaScript program (fs.js) where function for writing operations is written. Import fs-module in the program and use functions to write text to files in the system. The following function will create a new file with a given name if there isn’t one, else it will rewrite the file erasing all the previous data in it.
To create a text file from javascript, we’ll need to use Blob object. Blob (A Binary Large OBject) is a collection of binary data stored as a single entity. So, we’re going to create a Blob object that contains our text content. Then we’ll convert a blob into a text file which web browser will then popup the download dialog box for the users.
In this tutorial, we will create and save the data into a text file. To do that we’ll write: A JavaScript function that fire on the button click event. Create a Blob constructor, pass the data in it to be to save and mention the type of data. And finally, call the saveAs (Blob object, "your-file-name.text") function of FileSaver.js library.
The possible ways to create and save files in Javascript are: Use a library called FileSaver – saveAs (new File ( ["CONTENT"], "demo.txt", {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"}));
Try this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function WriteToFile(passForm) {
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
set s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True);
s.writeline("HI");
s.writeline("Bye");
s.writeline("-----------------------------");
s.Close();
}
</SCRIPT>

<form onSubmit="WriteToFile(this)">
Type your first name:
