Well, Tim, it might be worth mentioning his apparent preoccupation 
with saving-Windows-10 boxing.

No that is the fact the most trivial thing can be very time consuming to find out, and it is awesome when someone deliver timeconsuming "information" i do not think it is knowledge. Because knowledge requires originality and i do not think semantics qualify for that.

But now you got me into discuss noneissues, and that is just tiresome.

There is no such thing. You can only employ browser functionality from 
Javascript that runs inside a browser as part of a web page. Some 
browser functionality may (or may not) open standard OS specific dialog 
boxes.

The most common way of getting a browser to save something to a file 
(possibly through some sort of "save as" dialog) is have it load a URL 
that returns the proper HTTP headers that instruct it to save the 
downloaded resource to a file.

This was already explained to you earlier. Stop asking incomplete and 
ambiguous questions using rather poor English, then ignoring peoples 
responses and instead keep responding to yourself endlessly. Most of all 
you should stop offending people who try to help you.

Adopt normal newsgroup behavior or go away. If you are as really smart 
as you think you don't need us.

According to people doing ASP VBscript? it is impossible to get the clientbrowser to open filesave dialog, so it seem it is not possible. And that was possible the answer i was looking for.

https://forums.asp.net/t/1178720.aspx

But then my question is how come it is possible to reach the open file dialog? Is that seen as a less dangerous system call?

I just find alot of things convoluted not so say inconsistent, maybe it is because webscripting is a mix of different engines interpreating and interacting Javascript, CSS, HTML?

Maybe you should gone with something like smalltalk to begin with and it could handled it all???????? 

Sorry about the lowIQ inbreed comment, but when you guys start to talk about all noneissues between heaven and hell without even try to close in on my actual question i have it do indeed piss me off.
