Is it possible to write data to file using only JavaScript?

Question

Below is the code I tried to write data into the file using JavaScript: 

var f = "sometextfile.txt";

writeTextFile(f, "Spoon")

writeTextFile(f, "Cheese monkey")

writeTextFile(f, "Onion")

function writeTextFile(afilename, output)

{

  var txtFile =new File(afilename);

  txtFile.writeln(output);

  txtFile.close();

}

It just prints the output to the console, not to a file. Can anyone tell me how to write data to file only using JS?

Check the below following points:

1. If you try to write a file on a client machine it doesn’t work in cross-browsers. 

2. If you try to write to the server, you can pass the text to the server and execute the code using server-side language. 

3. If you want to store information on the client-side, check cooking. 

4. If it’s local storage, use HTML5
