Website question

Posted by Kaz on Feb. 6, 2006, 9:43 p.m.

How would I make a submit thingy, sorta like when you post a new blog. You type a name and a request for some updates on the site. What the user typed is written onto the same page after they hit submit. Could this be done with javascript or html? Yes I looked at the source, didnt really help. I know how to make forms, just dont know how to write it out onto the page like the site admin did.

I don't know if javascript can write to files, but if it can, you can use ajax to read from them.

However, it'd be a lot easier if your host supported php. (And even easier if it supported mysql)

Does it?

I believe it does since I see a site with blogs on it that has the same host as me.

Javascript doesn't support file I/O (Well, ok, cookies, but nothing server-side).

Javascript supports input (I use it on this site a lot) but no output I guess.

For really simple php file I/O, you should check out Daverave's <a href="http://daverave.64digits.com/index.php?page=simplog">simplog</a>…

Then eventualy, you can move on to databases.

You can write to other .js files with Javascript I believe,but it'd be more secure and better to use PHP. Lower the font on your blog by the way.
