javascript can't access databases, you'll need a server-side script. like PHP or ASP

Do you want to display it on the same page? That's possible.

Ok, anywhere in the body section, insert this.<form><input type="hidden" id="companyname" value=""><input type="hidden" id="jobtitle" value=""><input type="hidden" id="jobreference" value=""><input type="hidden" id="salary" value=""><input type="hidden" id="skill" value=""></form>Ok. you've got that. Now, it would be nice to know how they will be keying in the stuff.For example.<form><table><tr><td>Company Name:</td><td><input type="text" value="" id="cname"></td></tr><tr><td>Job Title:</td><td><input type="text" value="" id="cname"></td></tr><tr><td>Job Reference?:</td><td><input type="text" value="" id="jobref"></td></tr><tr><td>Salary:</td><td><input type="number" value="" id="cname"></td></tr><tr><td>Skill:</td><td><input type="text" value="" id="cname"></td></tr></table><input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitthing()"></form>Then you write a javascript function with for loops through all of these, chekcs if they are filled out, and then puts their values into the hidden boxes. Then you can do whatever you want with them on the page.

Though you should use names in forms, not ids.

No problem, don't hesitate to ask with the function writing. Or if you pm me what you want, i'll try to make it for you.

Don't forget to store the data of the hidden inputs in variables before you use them, and only save the values into the variables when the user hit a certain button. Else it won't work
