Saving form entries using javascript

[aragorn_new]

:rolleyes: Hello, this is my first time here! I don't know if this question has been asked before or not, so please be considerate!

:confused: I have been trying to write a form that will act as a guestbook, storing messages that users enter in a file on disc. However there sems to be no way of doing this without using CGI.

I have been wondering if it is possible to do this using Javascript, because, despite the power of CGI, I find Javascript better and easier to use.

Could somebody help??

Thank you,

I not sure you can do that with javascript! However you dont need to use old CGI in this day an age you have to very viable serverside solutions called asp and php there are forums in here for both and you would be much better off useing a form of serverside with forms as you can do a lot more including saving to a database and email to anyone ext.... so check where you plan on hosting your website to see which they support and then choose one or the other (even though I have been told you can translate one into the other without much trouble):D

P.S. Welcome to the forum:thumbsup:

Well I have heard of ASP and PHP but I have absolutely no experience of these server-side programming methods!
Is there any other way?
