Writing html form data to a txt file without the use of a webserver

i made a little change to this code to save entry of a radio button but unable to save the text which appears in text box after selecting the radio button.

the code is below:-

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
form * {
  display: block;
  margin: 10px;
}
</style>
<script language="Javascript" >
function download(filename, text) {
  var pom = document.createElement('a');
  pom.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + 

encodeURIComponent(text));
  pom.setAttribute('download', filename);

  pom.style.display = 'none';
  document.body.appendChild(pom);

  pom.click();

  document.body.removeChild(pom);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form onsubmit="download(this['name'].value, this['text'].value)">
  <input type="text" name="name" value="test.txt">
  <textarea rows=3 cols=50 name="text">PLEASE WRITE ANSWER HERE. </textarea>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="Option 1" onclick="getElementById('problem').value=this.value;"> Option 1<br>
<input type="radio" name="radio" value="Option 2" onclick="getElementById('problem').value=this.value;"> Option 2<br>
<form onsubmit="download(this['name'].value, this['text'].value)">
<input type="text" name="problem" id="problem">
  <input type="submit" value="SAVE">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Something like this? 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
form * {
  display: block;
  margin: 10px;
}
</style>
<script language="Javascript" >
function download(filename, text) {
  var pom = document.createElement('a');
  pom.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + 

encodeURIComponent(text));
  pom.setAttribute('download', filename);

  pom.style.display = 'none';
  document.body.appendChild(pom);

  pom.click();

  document.body.removeChild(pom);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form onsubmit="download(this['name'].value, this['text'].value)">
  <input type="text" name="name" value="test.txt">
  <textarea rows=3 cols=50 name="text">Please type in this box. When you 

click the Download button, the contents of this box will be downloaded to 

your machine at the location you specify. Pretty nifty. </textarea>
  <input type="submit" value="Download">
</form>
</body>
</html>

You can use JavaScript:

<script type ="text/javascript">
 function WriteToFile(passForm) {

    set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");  
    set s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\test.txt", True);
    s.writeline(document.passForm.input1.value);
    s.writeline(document.passForm.input2.value);
    s.writeline(document.passForm.input3.value);
    s.Close();
 }
  </script>

If this does not work, an alternative is the ActiveX object:

<script type = "text/javascript">
function WriteToFile(passForm)
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\\Test.txt", true);
s.WriteLine(document.passForm.input.value);
s.Close();
}
</script>

Unfortunately, the ActiveX object, to my knowledge, is only supported in IE.
