Storing and recalling click data

[nielse63]

Hi all,

I am really new to all this, and any help with my problems would be awesome. I am working on a function that allows the user to click on a "Good" and "Bad" link, and a number next to it will count the number of times that different users have clicked on each piece of text. Here's the basic version of the code in using:

<script type="text/javascript">
function add_to_goodcount(){
var goodcount=document.getElementById('goodcount');
var cstore = document.getElementById('good_counter_store');

cstore.value=parseInt(cstore.value)+1;
badcount1.innerHTML=cstore.value;
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:add_to_goodcount();">Good </a><input type="hidden" name="good_counter_store" id="good_counter_store" value='0'><span id="goodcount">0</span>

With this code standing alone, each time a user revists the page the number goes back to zero.

So my question is: How can I store the data in ASP so that when the user visits the site again, the count is restored?

I'd recommend using some AJAX to push the button result back to the server and have that repost the new data back to the server.

There is an AJAX forum at

here so they should be able to provide some help for you if you need it.
