?make a form output show on same page?

[bubbles35]

How can I make the output from a form show up in a specific text area on the
same page as the form?
I wanted a side column where my friends can post comments or discussions and
such. And I thought, if I could just know how to do that, then I can make a
simple guestbook. There are many free guestbooks, but I've found none that
allow me to customize the look and layouts beyond text color, table and border
color, and background. Perhaps a guestbook is not that simple, but the comment
column is?? :) well, thanks for your time and help..

You need to use PHP/mySQL or an equivalent server-side scripting system.
Check [url]www.php.net[/url] and [url]www.mysql.org[/url].
