I've been playing around and trying to add a form to a web page. It
has only 3 text fields and a submit and reset button. What I'd like
to do is make it so that the values from the text field are displayed
on another page after the submit button has been pressed. Also,
everytime a new form is submitted the new information gets added. So
for example, if the fields are "Name", "Question", and "Answer",
everytime someone submits the form there is a bank of this info along
with previous submission that can be viewed on another page. I've
been googling around and it seems that this requires server side
scripting, something I know absolutely nothing about. Is there a way
to do this without php or asp or something?

If you are going to post the form somewhere useful, then a server must
be involved or it will disappear into the ether.

If you just want to use client-side script to add more form controls
and keep everything on one page, that is fairly straight forward.
Maybe you want to build up a large form a bit at a time, then submit
the whole thing in one go at the end?

There are many, many options. Best you put some requirements together
and get a clear idea in your mind of *what* you are trying to do at a
higher level, then you can seek the best way of *how* to go about it.
