I need some help learning how to save elements from functions in JavaScript and how to load those elements so I can have usernames, passwords, and the parts of an RPG. Anything else I Know somewhat about. So can anyone help me! I was wondering along the lines of linking to Microsoft Access to save and load it. Anyone know how!

I personally recommand PHP to do that, but if you need some JV source, checkout http://www.w3schools.com

First, Javascript is scripting language - a scripting language is a lightweight programming language. That means it wasn't deisgn to be like a programming language like C or C++ or related source. It was deisgn to just have little interactivity with HTML webpages.
Second, Javascript can be easily seen by view source, which is not safe, because a hacker might use this source code to find bugs and intrude in.

For PHP, PHP is a server-side scripting language, like ASP. It is made for creating dynamic websites. It can be combined with MySQL, MYSQL is a small database server. It'll work very well with PHP.

There, I just explained their difference and what they are for. I highly doubt you can make a text based RPG with Javascript.

I can't install PHP where I want to use it so I would like to use JavaScript but mainly Microsoft Access Pages so I can link up with the database for saving. I don't mind how hard it is because I am ready to do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need an Apache Server to run PHP :wink:

And it's not the problem of how hard it is, it's the problem that you can't do it with Javascript. You "can't". If you could, first, it's a big problem, theres an automatically bug out there. Like I saide before:
"Javascript can be easily seen by view source, which is not safe, because a hacker might use this source code to find bugs and intrude in. "

If you ever need help, visit http://www.w3schools.com
You said something about the database, for database, mainly are SQL compliable. They work with PHP but do not work with Javascript :wink:

How about if I use VBScript instead. That works directly with Microsoft Access and would work very well indeed! Have any suggestions for that route!!!

I'm not familiar with VBScript, can't make any suggestions. But worth a try.
