Using dom save to an xml file   

I am using html and dom

x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('person');

for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
x.item(i).setAttribute("color","red");
}

//Output all attribute values
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write(x[i].getAttribute('category'));
document.write("<br />");
}


Hi tha changes that i am making using dom take place only ine memory
untill the next reload..but not in my xml file

I am doing this for a customer's machine and i am unable to install a
server side language to do a submit , how can i sabe the contents of
xmldoc directly to a file locally ??

Many thanks

Re: Using dom save to an xml file   

If the file was loaded locally then you can use:
  xmlDoc.save(xmlDoc.url)
otherwise replace xmlDoc.url with the local path.
Obviously you won't be able to do this from a web page unless security 
restrictions are more lower than is normal. If you are using IE and the file 
is small then consider using IE XML storage mechanism:

Inside of IE you can't use the save method, however you could write a 
HTML application (HTA), that way using the save method is possible.
