someone enters his email addres and name in 2 field.
when he presses the submit buttom his name and address should be
appended to a .txt file on the server.

You need to check with your host. We aren't psychic.
This would have to be done server-side, so it's off topic here.

JavaScript cannot access files.

JavaScript cannot access files.

That is very simplistic and said so generally, wrong.
Client-side javascript in the default security environment of an
internet site cannot access server-side files after the script is loaded
onto the client.
Client-side javascript run via an HTA on a user's computer certainly CAN
access client-side files. In fact, it can access pretty much any file on
the entire computer.
Client-side javascript run on an internet site and accessed via a
browser can access server-side files by doing the following:
<script src="/cgi-bin/whatever.js">
The whatever.js file can be anything, including a CGI script.
Server-side javascript, as seen in some Netscape web servers, certainly
can access server-side files. ASP JScript, which is a version of
javascript (kinda sorta) can also access servers-side files.

There's a lot more to this than just saying it can't access files.

Any language that can use FileSystem Object may be able to do it but
it's normally not possible due to security settings and usually only
IE can do it.

Utter nonsense. Server-side J(ava)Script exists. man Netscape, ASP.
