I need a script to crate a save as box or select folder to store a file in,

so when they click a button it open it up asking for a location to save the
file in.

how can I do this, does anyone have such a script or know where I can
actually get one from that has already been done before.


thanks

merry xmas to all.

You can't with a javascript, because it violates
a browser "Cross Domain Scripting" security setting.

The domains in this case being the browser and the system.
In computer terminology, the browser is considered a domain
and the system is considered another domain.

Why can't a viewer use the generic "right click" save as
in the browser context menu??
 
what i want to do is have then select a folder to store files in and for the
rest of the script to download a few files to the location that was
selected. which would save them from right clicking on many files one after
another, as sometime the agenda items might be 5 or 10 sometime 20 or 30
item. a lot of right clicking!!!.
