Browser == client: Whenever someone mentiones a client, it's either a browser or another app that connects to a server. Clientside, means that it runs inside the client.
Serverside, means that something is prcessed on the (web)server. PHP/ASP and a handfull of other dialects take care of this.
The fact you lose the info after punching refresh, is the funny thing about HTML: It's stateless. Once the page is done processing, (most of) the information is lost.
The only exceptions are those variables in javascripts and applets, but as the page reloads, those are pretty much lost too....
Would you be able to do this with serverside script, I'd be able to help you... I'm not sure it can be done clientside, but lemme know.. ;-)
You might wanna look into the possibility of using cookies, but I'm not sure those can be used in client side scripting. |
