I am working on a survey for my company. I worte this survey in HTML and it has 18 radio buttons, 5 text boxes and some check boxes. Well I need to connect it so that when a client fills out the survey and presses submit the info goes into our database. I am suppose to write this in javascript and I dont know how to even start!!!! Thanks
 
Hi,

Connecting and adding to a DB is not within JS reach, or of any other client side script.

You have to use Server Scripts like ASP or ColdFusion to do such a thing.

Any suggestions are more than welcome.
There's a LOT of work to do, so judge fairly. :)
 
JavaScript is for client side scripting (Browsers).
Any database activity is going to take place on the server.
If your server is Linux/Unix you will need to use something like PHP or Perl. If your server is Windows you can use ASP.

You can use either VBScript or JavaScript to write asp code, but it will run on the server side not the client side.
