Javascript in the browser has no file i/o capabilities. The best you can do is popup a window with just the text you want to save and then save using the browser or send the text to the server and have it serve up the appropriate download mime-type as a new page.

You can't with javascript. You'll have to send the data file server side. See C# Asp.net write file to client.
