}
else
{
    xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","t1.txt",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseText;
xmlhttp.open("w","t1.txt");

You can't. Browser-side javascript are not allowed to write to client machine without disabling a lot of security options.

Instead, you could download a new file using this code

function downloadContent(name, content) {
  var atag = document.createElement("a");
  var file = new Blob([content], {type: 'text/plain'});
  atag.href = URL.createObjectURL(file);
  atag.download = name;
  atag.click();
}

downloadContent("t1.txt","hello world");
