Packages from Netscape vs IE

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the rigth news to post this message, if not, sorry.

On Netscape, the javascript code in HTML can contain the following:


netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileAccess");
var jo_writer=new java.io.FileWriter("xxx");
etc. etc.

How can I access the java.io class from IE5?
How reference and instanciate them?

If I need to write a local file on my local machine from HTML page (no risk
securtity at all) and do not want to use ActiveX technology, I need to write
an applet or is there a simpler solution?

Thanks in advance.
