Writing jquery object to XML

Question

i am trying to write my object to an xml file. but i get error in my Writexml function.

     function writexml(listXML) {

        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: "c:\\users\nagia\documents\visual studio2013\Projects\Webtrystuff\Webtrystuff\XMLFile1.xml",   //path 
            dataType: 'xml',
            data: { filename: "XMLFile1.xml", content: listXML },
            error: function () {
                alert("Unknown error. Data could not be written to the file.");
            },
            success: function () {
                window.open("XMLFile1.xml");
            }
        });
      }

This is my function to call the writexml.

 <script>
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#datepicker").datepicker({
                    beforeShowDay: function(date)  {
                        var event = events[date];
                        writexml(event);

                        if (event) {
                       return [true, event.className, event.text, event.date];
                        }
                        else {
                            return [true, '', ''];
                        }

                    }
                })
            });
            </script>

event is a my object in jquery.

    var Event = function (text, className) {
        this.text = text;
        this.className = className;

       };

I have to use ajax. Is there something wrong with sending the object like this? I am a beginner.

I also tried giving the path of my xml file like "~/XMLFile1.xml" ...still got the error case. — aneena, Apr 21 '15 at 18:41
are you... trying to do a POST to an xml file? http://stackoverflow.com/a/12000090/526704 — DLeh, Apr 21 '15 at 18:45
well what can I do then ? my assingmnent question says that "function will make an Ajax call and save those events in a XML file" how can I save my "even"t object using ajax. — aneena, Apr 21 '15 at 19:18

Are you using this code in a browser? In that case I'm not sure but i think that you could have a problem of cross domain call. In your code the url definition is incorrect because is the link of a resources in your filesystem with a absolute path:

url: "c:\\users\nagia\documents\visual studio2013\Projects\Webtrystuff\Webtrystuff\XMLFile1.xml"

From your browser, for security reason you cannot call resources outside of your domain.

link for the wiki page about Crossdomain call

you can se more about this problem in this stackoverflow thread Using AJAX to read local files

I am writing to a local xml file. I am running the code in a webform. – aneena Apr 21 '15 at 19:04
Then it should work with the relative url "~/XMLFile1.xml" but why isnt then? – aneena Apr 21 '15 at 19:07
for cross domain problems I already have CORS extension installed in my browser so that cant be an issue – aneena Apr 21 '15 at 19:19
