Javascript as content input

[matrixindicator]

I start to get a bit confused about content input via javascript. I have read in a book an example, explanation on how you can add content with javascript using DOM and Objects. What is putted is in real plean content like a blog (date and text). My question is, when should you use this to put content in, when is it an advantage, isn't it better to use a database for content (like MySQL) ?

If I understand you correctly, the difference is that any modifications made to the page by JS won't be persisted, so if you refresh the page after adding content using DOM methods, they will be lost.

Hope this helps,
