Create a file text file in client machine?

I want to output a text file in client machine based on the input of the user, which technique or programming language is suitable?
I have tried to use JAVA but due to the security reason, it is not allowed to do so, any suggestion?

It may not be easy to create a file that's written directly to a user's hard drive, but you could create an intermediate page in memory that the user can then save.
A number of sites use this technique to output database contents to an excel spreadsheet, for example.
