How do you print from a text box to a file?

Javascript does not allow file io. This would be a hideous security risk (Hey, how about I let this Javascript app put format c: in my autoexec.bat file!).

/me doesn't have an autoexec.bat :P
But seriously, Gian's right. It would the biggest security risk since, hmm.. Well since IIS was released. Can't be done server-side either, as JavaScript is client-side.

Well... my friend origionally asked me to make him a guitar tab writer, me being really lazy put it off. Later I discovered some holes in the idea (like why not just do it in a word processor?) so I wanted some features that might make it a little better, but this one just doesn't look to promising. Boy talk about a run on sentence :)
