Answer 1

To store form data in a text file using JavaScript, you need to send the data to a server-side script that can handle the file operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To store the form data in a text file using JavaScript, you need to send the data to a server-side script that can handle the file operations. JavaScript alone cannot write directly to a text file on the user's computer due to security restrictions.

Here's an example of how you can accomplish this:

1. Create a server-side script (e.g., using PHP, Node.js, etc.) that receives the form data and writes it to a text file on the server.
2. Change your HTML form's 'action' attribute to point to the server-side script that you created.
3. When the form is submitted, the data will be sent to the server-side script, which can then handle writing it to a text file.

JavaScript in the browser cannot write directly to files, but you can send data to a server-side script that writes to a text file. Form data should be sent using AJAX, and the server-side script handles the file writing with correct permissions.

If you want to store data into a text file upon clicking a submit button using JavaScript, you need to know that JavaScript running in the browser cannot directly write to the file system due to security concerns. However, you can handle the form submission and send the data to a server-side script (like Node.js, PHP, etc.) which has the necessary permissions to write to the file system. Here's a conceptual overview of the steps you'll need to take:

Firstly, handle the form submission in JavaScript and prevent the default action using event.preventDefault().

Then, send the form data to the server using AJAX (with XMLHttpRequest or Fetch API).

On the server-side, receive the data and use a server-side script to write to a text file using appropriate file system APIs.

As for ensuring the data is in tabular format, that would involve structuring the data appropriately before sending or within the server-side script, possibly using a delimiter like a tab character ('\t') to separate columns and a newline character ('\\') to separate rows.
