                      You could use Ajax for this purpose. It takes the input and sends the request to the server-side script which updates the database. The callback function can update the page once it has been added.

                              See the Ajax tutorial links in the Offsite Links thread.

                                      Have you checked the tutorials? It is not that difficult. You will need a server-side language and preferably a database, though you could use a text file if you want.

                                      Which server-side language (e.g. PHP, ASP, JSP, Perl, Coldfusion) do you know?

                                                  Show what code you have or what attempt you have made.

                                                  I assume you know PHP and can create a text file from the posted input using $_POST. If not, you should check in the PHP forum or start a new thread there for that particular sub-problem.

                                                  There is more than one possible way to solve this, but this is one way. Use AJAX to make a request to the PHP file with the input from the textarea. This is added to the text file. Now we could return the whole text file all over again, but that could be huge. The alternative is to just update the page by adding to the end of the data, but if someone in the meantime had added something, this would not display. It depends on how accurate you wish to be.

                                                  One other choice is whether you wish to load the content after the page has loaded or as part of the page load (i.e. a PHP page which just displays the data).

                                                  If you have a problem with your Ajax script, post it here.

                                                          The text file you would create on the server-side using PHP.

                                                          Show me your Ajax script. There are plenty of examples in the tutorials. There's also an example in the articles section - see this article.

                                                          Not sure what you mean by this.
