Can Javascript write to a file??
I would like to have javascript write to a flat file that's on the server. Is this possible? What are the commands if it is? I'm working with a particular server that can only run html pages and doesn't have any programming languages installed like ASP or PHP.

but this will write onto a file that resides on the client side correct? What I'm trying to accomplish is having a flat file that keeps count of all the hits on specific pages. The only hurdle to this is that the server i'm working with cannot have a server side scripting language installed nor MySQL installed. Its a bare naked server that has to stay that way for corporate reasons. So all I have to work with is html and javascript. Its using apache on unix if that helps.. but I just can't install anything more than that.
If your server is so limited that doesn't allow you to use some way to write info into it, we're sorry that we may also can't help you here..
The alternative way may be is to use FTP transfer method... you may FTP your latest info into your server, and when your user read those info from some where else, hopefully what he/she saw is the latest info, but this will be the last resource (backup plan) I can suggest to you.

Depends on what Web Server you're using, you may already have a Log generated from each hit count. Try check this with web administrator, to see whether the Web Server Log is available by default or not?
