Javascript Counter

Hey Everyone,

I'm working on a counter. I have two images - each with their own click count. Right now each time the page loads the counter goes back to zero. I would assume I need some kind of server side coding.

Any recommendations?

Here's what I have so far.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var counter = 0;
function increaseloveit() {
counter += 1;
document.getElementById('loveit').value = counter;
}
var counter = 0;
function increasehateit() {
counter += 1;
document.getElementById('hateit').value = counter;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:increaseloveit();"><input type="button" value="Love It!" name="loveit" onclick="" /></a><input id="loveit" value="0" size="2" /></form>
<form>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:increasehateit();"><input type="button" value="Hate It!" name="hateit" onclick="" /></a><input id="hateit" value="0" size="2" /></form>

</body>
</html>

What part of that did you not understand? One more time, you will need server-side scripting and a database.

I think you misunderstood my post. Thank you for the recommendation and help on my previous post. I am now looking into server side hosting like you recommended.

I am asking for recommendations as to where I can get started with server side scripting...

Well, in that case post your question in one of the server-side forums, e.g. PHP. This is the JavaScript forum. And your thread title is "Javascript Counter".
