I am looking for a JavaScript that will allow a person to enter in a list of items and submit it so that others can view the list. The best way for me to describe this would be a Christmas List. I would need to be able to enter a list of names that a user could select and then view what that particular user entered in on his or her list.

Perhaps a JavaScript that can use a form to update a web page which includes a bulleted list of items...

Any help?

If I understand you correctly, you will need a server-side language. Javascript cannot transfer data between users - its only storage capability is a small cookie on the user's computer.

Can Javascripting be used to update a bulleted list in a web page?

Lets say I have five engineers, and I need these 5 engineers to update their designated web page with all their active projects, and those web pages need to be viewed by my project managers can that be done without having my engineers edit HTML but instead go to their page and submit a form which updates it by adding to the list?

You can do this with a server-side language, but not Javascript. JS _cannot_ store updates, or change pages on the server.
