Question

How can I pass data from client to server?

I have a very simple text editor created on a site and every few minutes or so I would like to send the information that has been typed in back to the server as a text file. I am trying to create an effect similar to the live type of googleWave.

Speed and efficiency isn’t all that important at the moment. A quick and dirty way would be suffice.

Have a look at Ajax. Or at a Simple example.

From Wikipedia:

With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. The use of Ajax techniques has led to an increase in interactive or dynamic interfaces on web pages.
