how to edit xml file from javascript

When i try to save the xml file, after appending a child it says an error message "access denied". refer the code below

var xmlDoc= new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load(xmlFile)
var person = xmlDoc.createNode("element", "person", "");
xmlDoc.documentElement.appendChild(person);
xmlDoc.save(xmlFile)

any help will be appreciated

I imagine its not a problem with the javascript, Im no expert but juding by the error message. Are you 100% positive that you have access? Is this your machine? Do you have activeX turned on? Have you looked into using something more appropriate for this job such as server-side scripting.

One of many articles.

i'm not sure you can save xml file (or other file) with javascript process... Browser have just acces to internet temp file not all the disk. And Javascript is not on server side i think

But if i'm wrong, I want to see the solution

pouype it is possible with javascript.
You are correct javascript is client-side.
But I would STRONGLY encourage you to use a server-side scripting language for file interaction.
ACTIVE-X is one of THE biggest security flaws...
