you'll ned to incorpurate server side scripting to manage this task.
try this forum forum333 ASP
if you do not have ASP support you can look into PHP ---------------------------------------
{ str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,"coffee"alert(Nstr); }

In addition to your old HTML you have to use one of the following technologies:
XML - you can store your information in XML file (as your database) or in real database such as Access or Oracle

PHP or ASP or JSP- server based scripting (data is stored in Access, MS SQL server, My Sql & others)

Cold Fusion - meta tag based technology ( the easiest to learn, but has the most expensive hosting and is not very popular)

XML is new and is not very hard to learn if you are familiar with basic concepts of JavaScript or VBScript data manipulation.

I personally started as self-tought Dreamweaver web designer, then learned Visual Basic, VB Script and ASP (which is based on VB script). Now I'm learning ASP.NET.
My recommendation - learn ASP.NET
It is not very complicated and there will be so much demand for it in the nearest future.
