I want to create a very simple Javascript game using HTML5 (Canvas). But is it possible to save a simple .txt file and load a simple .txt file. I just need to store like the some simple integers. But I just want to know if javascript is allowed to save and load an external file?

Canvas

On Chrome, you can rely on the FileSystem API (for an intro take a look here). Probably other browsers will soon add support to it.

But, if your need is just to store like the some simple integers I would consider local storage.
