I have been browsing javascript sites for many days now and have just about started to need glasses. I stuck my foot in my mouth to a local non profit organization while helping them with redo an amazingly ugly webpage. They have a conference center facility which wants to announce speakers and events whether they are a charge or not to a main calendar or program page. My first choice whould have been to use PHP to do this (I am only slightly more versed in PHP) but I do not wish to tell them they would need to update their hosting and pay more money for a DB.What I feel they need.
1) Somekind of admin login panel to add events speakers and images if not too difficult that has the ability to be edited and sorted by date then spit back out to a webpage.
2)Optional links to more extensive descriptions or an html page (I was thinking of a simple form that asks the admin do you have an html page to link to is so fill in name here or if not leave out. If blank no link is created in chronological description if html page is named another line to have a "For more info click here ETC" included.
I do not understand if this is even possible in Javascript without a DB or if html can even be written on the fly so any directions to take or suggestions other then Javascript would be appreciated.....well any help at all appreciated that is

TIA

Javascript cannot connect to databases or files without the use of other technologies. Also, to comply with accessibility recommendations your page must be accessible to users with Javascript disabled. Therefore, you should do this on the server-side (PHP is great).
