Hi: I have this website I keep going..It's pretty basic but one page is a prayer list request. Right now all I have is a form that will shoot me an email with the prayer request..The site is hosted by tripod..so I use a lot of the tools there.. Is there some code that some of you programmers can share that would allow the visitor to post their request and it will update the page automatically?

My webpages is http://littlefranciscan.com No worries am not trying to sell faith on this board but trying to get some pointers..Is it possible to put html inside so that so that as soon as the request is made the whole page updates and the request appears automatically?

I'm not sure how Tripods servers are setup, or even if they support php.

You can try using a flat file database type system for it.

You cannot do such a thing with just HTML. You will need to use a programming language like PHP, which is unfortunately not installed on Tripod's servers. I would highly recommend switching to T35's hosting. Their free plan offers far more than Tripod's paid plans, including PHP.
