problems with HTML form

Hi,

I want to load a text file into HTML textarea, edit it and later save it.

the following form fails to show the text a simple text file – 1.txt.


—–

<html>
<script>
function saveFile (fname)
{
document.execCommand(‘SaveAs’,null,fname)
}

function displayFile (text) {
document.formName.file.value = text;
}
</script>
<body>
<form name=”form1″ method=”post” action=””>
<label>edit this file:
<textarea name=”textarea” rows=”10″ cols=”50″>displayfile(“1.txt”)</textarea>
</label>
<input type=”button” value=”Save” onClick=”saveFile(‘1.txt’);”>
</form>
</body>
</html>
