Thanks!

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I do that?

Hello, I'm new here, and also somewhat new to Javascript. I know html, and I can create decent webpages, but I'm no Grand Master or anything and I need help.I work at a library at a small college, and my boss wants a link from our library homepage to a database we can access on a trial basis. She would like this link to be a button, and to be a counter so we know how many times students, faculty, etc., have gone from the link on the library homepage to the database webpage. The providers of the database state in no uncertain terms that they don't compile usage statistics, so we need to. What I want is a counter that makes an entry in a log unseen to the user every time a user clicks the link from the library homepage to the database homepage.Is this doable? I've been told it's something doable in Javascript, but I've been up and down all the tutorials and examples on w3c with no luck.Thanks
