Can javascript edit and read *.txt ans *.ini files?

Hello, can javascript edit and read *.txt and *.ini files?

Maybe...

I'm not sure if this would work, but try something like:

 
<iframe id="j" src="WHATEVERTHING.txt(or)ini" HIDDEN="true"></iframe>
<script>
<!-- 
var it=document.getElementById('j').innerHTML;
alert('It\'s  '+it+'  ')
//-->
</script>

If it doesn't work, then you probably need value in place of innerHTML or server side scripting.

It didnt work, but thank you for your help any way!
I still learned some thing from though.

Now why would you want to do a thing like that?

Javascript cannot access or edit (= damage?) any file
on the user's system with the exception of cookies.

For my game I'm making out of javascript.
I want to save variables with *.txt or *.ini files.

Use PHP.

How do you use cookies, then?

You can read (but not write) an HTML page out of an IFRAME, but it must be a complete HTML page - you can't use a text file and expect it to have a DOM.
