Ok, that makes sense. I was thinking that a server side language would be a better choice to concentrate on learning. I will still learn javascript, but not put too much effort into learning it.And vchris, I'll probably take you up on your help offer at some point :)Thanks for the quick replies guys.

I'm new to scripting languages, but have been using HTML for awhile. After doing a fair bit of research I've found that since I already know HTML and CSS, then the best next step for me to take is to learn Javascript, unless I'm wrong about this?What I would like to do, or eventually do, is to have a page that an admin can log into and then they would be able to fill out forms which will then update the content for the rest of the website, ie. News submissions, calenders, member lists, etc. all from just filling out forms on his website "control panel".My question is, first of all, is Javascript all I need to know to be able to do this? Or, my gut feeling, do I need server side scripting like PHP, or PHP and MySQL on top of Javascript?I don't want it to be any sort of a complex "control panel", just simple forms that change the content of the other pages, and using CSS I can control the appearance of the content, correct?This might be alittle too complex of a project for me at this point, but then again I'm not sure. But I don't want to end up wasting a tonne of time learning a language that wasn't the right language to learn in the first place. So I'm looking for some guidance and someone to point me in the right direction, so in a month or two I'll have actually accomplished something!Thanks for your help in advance.
