Hi,
I have a local web page to play game of Tic Tac Toe. The game is written in Javascript. it is working fine. Now i want to save the score to an XML file (or text or any other file type). Can anyone help me doing this? I have already tried some scripts but not working fine.
Thanks in advance.

When run in a web browser, JavaScript executes in a sandboxed environment. you won't be able to save the score to anything other than a cookie without using a web service call, activex component or some other extra bit of software.

Thank you for your post.
Is there any simple method to implement this thing?
I just want to store the scores of different players and club them to show who is the best player.

You've already mentioned jQuery.. have a look at making an AJAX or JSON post to a webservice with jQuery

Can you share some sample code?

http://jquery.com/ explains it far better than I will ever be able to. have a look at http://www.asp.net for webservice stuff.

Javascript has no write access to your file system. Why dont you write it in a cookie?

Another option would be to go for an ActiveX contol.
