Unusual help request

[MrEnglish]

Sorry in advance to the expert users if this seems like a very easy problem..

I am setting up a voting section in my web site and i created a page where using JS when someone clicks on a vote button it opens a small page to log that vote. what i planned to do was set a counter on that page and then display the current votes from that counter or tracker on the main page where the vote buttons are located.... sounds easy right.

well the main problem i have is all the counters i have tried wont let me access that info to be displayed on a page other than the one its counting for and the tracker info sites i tried hide where they are putting the page view info from so copying the code from there doesnt work either.

I am very new at JS but in general I am pretty computer literate.
does anyone have a viable solution for this..

thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I am pretty sure that this can only be done using server side scripting.
