is there a way to take the above LOCAL file and add javascript so that I can type “Hello World” into the text area, click save and have the file overwrite itself so the file changes to:
<html>
<body>
<form>
<textarea>Hello World</textarea>
<input type=submit value="Save"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
In short : no.
Plain javascript cannot access the server’s file system.
If you wish to do that you will need to look at a server scripting or programming environment like PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, etc.
