Do you have ASP or other server-side JavaScript facilities? If not,
you'll need some other server-side technology to help you.

Yes i do server-side technology.Also how about perl.Can i do it without
the server side technology. I just have to parse the html file and append
it.It is my wild guess!
Thanks,

No. How will you update the HTML without server-side technology?

I just have to parse the html file and append
it.

It is as simple as that, with the right technology.

The trick is to modify the version that's stored on the server.
The client can't do that.

Have the client side page post the addition to a CGI script
that updates the HTML file.
