I have a button on a website that I'm building. However when someone clicks the button, I want the website to display how many times it has been clicked. Is there anyway I can do this? Thanks.

the technique you’re searching for is called "Closure". alternatively you can set a counter (e.g. an input field) and increment its value repeatedly.

Is it just me, or is this very easily done in Javascript? If you want the same count to be displayed to all visitors, you would need a server-side script as well as a DB though...

Ugh, great. I don't think my class will let me create a database.

you only need a database if you need to save the clicks across all users.
Now how would I go about doing that?

make a table with a numeric field. and every time you click the button, make an AJAX request to increase the number by one. (yea and of course you have to fetch the counter value from the DB as well).

Ouch, that sounds a little hard. I have a database and everything. I am just a complete n00b at it. I'll see if my teacher can try and help me.
You guys can see the site that I'm trying to do this on here.

and that only requires a very simple database where you don’t have any real need for DB Normalisation …
I will look into this. Thanks!
