Save File From Local Data in Javascript

Tags:

javascript

Heres the scenario:

  1. User comes to my website and opens a webpage with some javascript functionality.
  2. User edits the data through javascript
  3. User clicks on a save button to save the data, thing is, it seems like they shouldn't need to download this data because its already in javascript on the local machine.

Is it possible to save data from javascript (executing from a foreign webpage) without downloading a file from the server?

Any help would be much appreciated!
