Need Some Help - Tutorial Anywhere

    Hi.

    In need of some help with Javascript, because I need to find a tutorial or something, but I have no idea where to start looking.

    Im trying to create a basic web drawing application, but it has to be permanent, so that if someone refreshes the page, it will still be there.


    Is this possible, and where do I go to get help,

    Thanks!

    It can't be done in Javascript - you have to store what you want to keep permanent on the server, so you'll have to use a server-side language, like PHP or ASP.

    You can remember it in cookies. But user can have cookies disabled or can erase them. So you cannot fully rely on cookies in browser. Best is store it on server side.

    since HTML5 is available in most browsers, you can use the canvas tag for the drawing application and control it by using javascript. for storage html5 has web storage, which is storing data in the client's browser, it is different to cookies that can be blocked.

    since the data will only be stored on one browser, it's still a good practice to have a copy of the data server-side, so the user can access his data where he wants to access it..
