Need expert ideas how to Create and Write to .txt file on JavaScript. I am using below code it works fine with IE but not on Chrome with error as "ActiveXObject" undefined. "ActiveXObject" related to IE specific not supported on Chrome.

var myObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

I have checked few comments related to similar issue and i also tried using below options:

Option-1:

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");  
set s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True);

Option-2:

var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e)

Still issue persists. Need support how to write code in javascript which can be Browser independent (can execute on IE, CHrome and FF) .

Try this but this will work only on IE

function WriteToFile(passForm) {

    set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");  
    set s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True);
    s.writeline("HI");
    s.writeline("Bye");
    s.writeline("-----------------------------");
    s.Close();
 }

<form onSubmit="WriteToFile(this)">
Type your first name:
<input type="text" name="FirstName" size="20">
<br>Type your last name:
<input type="text" name="LastName" size="20">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
