Can I use the applet to write data into the files. I could read data from the file somehow but the procedure for writing didnt work so what can I do?

Where is the file located? On the server? You can't update the file through the URL. Kaj

ok.. this explains why I cannot update the file using URL object. Is there any way I can write to it... Yes, the file is local to me and located in the bin folder.

I browsed the google 2 find the answer, but it gave me sumthing regarding CGI and Java partnership. Cant we do it without CGI? do tell me if there is a way plz!
