Point me in the right direction

[A. Name]

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

This is what I want to accomplish.

The page has a simple form for input on it. When a user enters in
information and clicks the button, the current list of items is
displayed. So, if the page looks like this:

-----------------
| tweeking | Add
-----------------

Current List
one
three

After Add
one
three
tweeking

I was thinking array, I think I will have to add it to an array and
then rewrite the array to the page.

Thanks!

How is it displayed? As an <ul>-list or as a <select>-element?
The latter is much easier to change.

Must the entries be alphabetic, or is that a coincidence?

If you can't remove elements from the list, then you don't need to
remember the elements. You can just add new elements after the ones
already there.

Sample code:
--- select element ---
<form action="...">
<input type="text" name="input">
<input type="button" value="Add"
onclick="this.f orm.elements['list'].add(
new Option(this.for m.elements['input'].value),undefin ed);">
<br>
<select name="list" size="10">
</form>
---
or:
--- ul element ----
<form action="...">
<input type="text" name="input">
<input type="button" value="Add"
onclick="var li = document.create Element('li');
li.appendChild( document.create TextNode(
this.form.eleme nts['input'].value));
document.getEle mentById('list' ).appendChild(l i);">
</form>
<ul id="list">
</ul>
