is it possible to create a forum like feature using javascript. what i mean is is it possible to have just like a simple notice board where anybody put up their message without having to log in?

I'd say get a premade forum.
This one is called vBulletin.
There are some good free ones too, such is phpBB (my personal fave), Snitz, and the latest versions of Invision Power Board are really cool.

sorry, I don't think you all understand. I don't want an exact forum. All i want is an input feild so people can type in their comments, then when they press a submit button it will appear in list of comments below. Simple.

Ohh we thought you wanted a message board!
You need an HTML form and a little serverside code. Do you know what languages your server supports?

Try a Guestbook written in Perl
http://www.chrm.info/internet/software/gbuch.tar.gz
You also can use the option in Microsoft Frontpage to install a Guestbook on your server, but you must have installed the frontpage serverside components.
@whmx
Never saw an board only working on javascript.
You need perl (working as *.cgi for example) or php with or without mysql.

Its pretty easy to do in PHP-cant be much harder in CGI.
Maybe post your question in the forum for that language.
It will be something along the lines of take the inpput in a form, write to a file, then display the file.

My server only supports javascript too. I was wondering is there a way to make an outside source (for my simple comments page to send and recieve messages) and connect it to my javascript only server? Perferably to be able to connect to multiple forms.
If so what would be the best way to do that? Can you show me a code?
Thank you :)

yeah that would work, an external forum would be good.
There's a few of those and some guestbooks at this site http://www.goldfiles.com/addons.shtml
not to mestion varius other stupf
hey stan, if all u want is a comments page, look for a guestbook instead of a forum, eh? a guestbook you can post your name, subject, and comment and it uploads it to this page so you can view all d otha comments and stuph.

stan.
i know what you want i think, a place where people can submit their comments and view other people's comments, simple HTML script.
i dont see how this doesnt meet the criteria of a guestbook!
a guestbook is specailly designed for this purpose!

... so it is.
JavaScript cannot read or write to files. However, it is possible to do this using ActiveX embedded into your JavaScript
But have a look at this:
