Help simple script

Hi,

I need a very simple script that will do the following :

I have a HTML form.
I have an input call "title". Say I wrote "fleur-de-lys"
I have a text area call "text"

When I hit the submit button I want to do :

1. Create a HTML webpage with the name in input :
fleur-de-lys.html
2. Add the text in "text" somewhere in the body of that new file fleur-de-lys.html
3. Add a preview of that text somewhere in my index page

Basically it's like you post a new article on wordpress or whatever, but I just want something simple no database and just need help on how I do this.

Thank you very much

It is not possible to create an HTML page using Javascript.

JavaScript is purely a client-side language, and unless used with an Ajax call has no capability to read from or write to a file (except a cookie), communicate with the server, access a database, the client's operating system or the Windows registry, or alter the default behaviour of the browser.

JavaScript [...] has no capability to read from [...] a file

It has, with the new file api. But the user has to choose the file. Javascript can not access a "random" file.

Thanks for the replies. Do you have any suggestions how I should proceed?

Yes. Use a server-side language to do this, where it is quite easy.

ASP, JSP, PHP, etc. Your choice.

Sure, but you still need to learn and use a server-side language to handle the AJAX call.

Personally, I doubt that AJAX has any advantage at all in answering this problem. It can be used, but it's overkill.
