VBSCRIPT, A HREF, and JavaScript

[madmatt]

Okay, here's the deal.

I wrote a VBSCRIPT to save the contents of an TEXTAREA box to a file on my HDD. I call this script using the onClick="setFile('location')" function inside an A HREF statement. The VBSCRIPT works perfectly and saves the input to a file stored on my HDD.

The problem I am having is that I am trying to prevent MSIE from launching. I tried using href="javascript:void(0)", but the browser still opens with a "the page cannot be displayed" error.

Here's the A HREF:

<a onClick="setFile('c:\\windows\\quicknotes.txt')" href="javascript:void(0)">save</a>

(there are no spaces between JAVA and SCRIPT, the bold print just makes it appear so).

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

There IS a space (check the HTML code...), I hope you don't have that in your code.

I said, there is not a space. Believe me, there is NOT a space in the actual code. Displaying the code using the forum's BOLD code makes it appear so. Once again, there is NOT a space between JAVA and SCRIPT. Thanks for trying though. =)
