The only way I can imagine doing something like that would be with a javascript cookie. I doubt that browsers (thankfully) allow javascripts to write anything else to the client's hard drive without them asking for it.
If it were me and I needed it enough to spend 5 or 6 hours on it, I would do it using a java applet. Good luck, SN

If you want to save the result to a text file on the same machine that serves the HTML file, you would need to go with a server-side language like Perl or PHP.
