Save a file in the users floppy disk
Ruben,
I'm not sure on the details of this, but this could possibly get you
started. If all of your client machines run Win98, WinNT, or Win2000 you
could write a client-side VBScript. Looks kind of like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" RUNAT="CLIENT">
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'you can do all kinds of crazy things here
</SCRIPT>
What you can and cannot do with the shell, I am not so well versed on. You
can follow the link below to find out more about the possibilities. However,
I can see some problems you might run into. I'm not sure off the top of my
head how you would get the file you wish to save to the client's machine.
Perhaps it's as easy as providing a URL to the shell's Save command? And I'm
not sure how you could detect whether or not the client has a floppy in the
drive. And I don't know what would happen if they didn't (hopefully just a
harmless little messagebox prompting the user for a diskette).

PS--PLEASE DON'T CROSSPOST LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
