ActiveXObject is non-standard and only supported by Internet Explorer on Windows   There is no native cross browser way to write to the file system without using plugins  even the draft File API gives read only access   If you want to work cross platform  then you need to look at such things as signed Java applets  keeping in mind that that will only work on platforms for which the Java runtime is available

ActiveXObject is available only on IE browser  So every other useragent will throw an error  On modern browser you could use instead File API or File writer API  currently implemented only on Chrome
