I am looking to write a program that will ask my visitor for some specific input. Than when the visitor inputs the info, it will take the input and write it to a .doc and call another program on my server to come get the .doc and use the information. Is this possible? Thanks!

I don't think that it is possible, but it looks to me that you will need to use a serverside language such as PHP along with your Javascript.

JavaScript is a client-side technology, so it can't write to a server. However, it can write a cookie, that your other program could read?

Using JavaScript would be a messy and complex way to do this. Go server side and use PHP or ColdFusion...

I don't know about writing doc's on the fly using PHP but writing PDF's is a cinch with PDFlib!
