IDBFileHandle.write()

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

Note: The three non-standard interfaces IDBMutableFile, IDBFileHandle, and IDBFileRequest are disabled by default. Consider using the File and Directory Entries API instead.

The write() method of the IDBFileHandle interface writes some data into the file.

The write operation starts at the position set in location and moves that position by the number of written bytes.

Syntax

Parameters

An IDBFileRequest object to handle the success or failure of the operation.

Specifications
