I am working on a project site that I would like to put textareas into for the purpose of easy modification of information in a browser window.
For example, say I have a textarea on a webpage with the text: "This is my text". I want to be able to type in the browser window: "This is more text" on the next line and without saving the file or pushing any form buttons (preferrably) have the words "This is more text" appear in the textarea below "This is my text", the next time I open the file.
I could use a text editor for this but I don't for the reasons of portability (programs, versions), and internal linking.
This is my first choice but if anyone has any suggestions on alternatives that would also be appreciated.
Thanks for the help, Nate

Re: simple, automatic textarea saving/backup
Me again, I prefer to use this method to until I am no longer on the computer at the library, Word works using styles (for headings), and anchor hyperlinks (although there are some problems there, like no right clicking to set or choose styles for links, link colors, etc), but changing between computers and different Word versions, may not only prevent my project site from even working, but makes it necessary to redo links, or at least styles (headings and such) each time I want to add a new one (not often but important). I found these links below but I believe this is server side code, I don't know javascript, and therefore can't set it up. Anyway, I prefer, to keep the project site offline. Any help on that would be appreciated as well.

Are you looking for something like Google Docs?
Re: simple, automatic textarea saving/backup
Something like that, it looks like a good program but I would still prefer to use HTML, so I can also work offline and have more control over the document. Any suggestions on forms would be helpful, and I'll try Google Docs and get back to you on the styles, the menus and most importantly the hyperlinks.
Thanks, Nate
