I am the webmaster of a small private school web site. I would like a simple way for the staff to update a text only "current events" page. I am looking for the easiest way to implement this for fast daily updates.
My idea is to have a "text input" web page that any staff can type text into, like a form "text area". This text variable would be saved as a file on the server. When someone looks at the "current events" page, the javascript on the viewing page would read the saved text file, then document write it into the html page.
I have experience in writing html with ssi, javascript html and form manipulation on the client side, and ftp to upload html to a server. I have no experience in setting up a database or client side file transfers. I do not need a large database, only 4-5 small named variables that I could save and read to the server.
I am not familiar with many other languages or programs such as php, asp, pearl, c+ etc... and have no clue on how to set up a database. I would prefer to stay away from a database if possible, and just save and read 4-5 files.
Any help with variable (file) saving and reading to a server from an html javascript would be greatly appreciated. A sample code of saving and reading a "hello world" variable to a server would be ideal.
Thank You.
