Hi Guys, new joiner here, hope you can help.

I'm a beginner at Javascript etc, but have created a Sales / Income calculator using javascript for our business so that our sales agents can be informed about how much discount they can offer/ how much income they're making on each sale.

As no data needs to be stored, it's all clientside on just a local network drive and just runs calculations based on products sold / defined commision rates etc using a locally stored Javascript page.

I've now been tasked with updating this to take into account a far larger amount of info / variables, all of which may need to be updated 'on the fly'.

To do this I need to work out the best way of storing these variables in order that the javascript on the 'front end' can retrieve the relevant variable based on the users selection.

What's the best method for storing data like this? Is it an XML page? A database would be ideal but as it's not hosted properly on a server there's no way of using PHP or storing a database or anything.

I'm happy to learn whatever needs to get done, but just need some pointers at this early stage as to which route to go down.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry but you might have to learn some server side language like php
