The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Write to txt file using JavaScript

Asked by itobie in JavaScript

Tags: javascript, file, write

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use JavaScript to write to a text file. I tried using FileSystemObject in JavaScript. However, it gives the following error : "Automation server can't create object". Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

To give an overview of what I am trying to achieve here. There are 2 parts I need to do.

1) enable users read information from an XML file offline. I managed to user JavaScript to read
    and display the necessary informatiom (for example : a quiz).

2) read quiz result from the page and write to a text file. Upon going online, there shall be a
   function to read the result from the text file and update it into our DB.

2nd part is an issue to me now. If you think this is not feasible, could anyone suggest any other
ways to work around this?

Attached is the code for the 2nd portion :

========================================================
function WriteToFile() {
  try {
    var fso, s;
    fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    s = fso.CreateFolder("C:\\test.txt", true);
    s.writeline("This is a test");
    s.Close();
  }
 catch(err){
   var strErr = 'Error:';
   strErr += '\nNumber:' + err.number;
   strErr += '\nDescription:' + err.description;
   document.write(strErr);
  }


Thanks a lot....
