HTML/JS help, turn Var into index.html

[givingtnt]

Hello !

I need help. Im making a simple page for people to post messages that are updated 3-4 times per week. for people with absolutly 0 knowledge of computers.

im currently doing a form that stores the info in a variable (as a string with html code in it)

I want to, when I click "update"  that the server takes that string, copy it and replace the text inside the index.html file somewhere else on the website (the display page)

how do I do that ?

are you using php?

use the form to submit to a php page that will take the form data and store it in a database.

On your index page, make a php script that pulls from the data base to display the form data.

here is a tutorial https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_intro.asp

iv never done php, and my db skills are very low. I barely know how to make it work, never actually pulled data from a server.

I ill try. but if there's a simpler solution that would be great. 

Thanks.

using a database is the simplest solution, otherwise you would be trying to replicate all the things that a database does.

I can think of a way of doing that using a Node.JS server and AngularJS, but it's more of a weekend project sort of deal if you haven't done full-stack before.

If it's a demo site though, something you don't necessarily need a server for, you can do HTML and AngularJS or JQuery. JQuery's easier to wrap your head around, but AngularJS does a lot of automagic things.

 

But if you want some help I can do so over PM whenever I can get to it.

that would be cool
basically, all I want to do is be able to put text in different sections. and have it update the view page.
