storing text

[BRUUUCE]

I have an html file in a folder. When I open it up I have a text box and two buttons below this. One to clear the box which works, the other button, I want it to save to a .txt file within the folder the html file is in. And, if possible, everytime somthing is saved, it goes in the same .txt file. (kind of like a running/compiled list). my knowledge doesnt extend farther than html/css/very little java. Is there an easy fix to this or do i need to study up on php or some databaseish stuff?

I'm sorry, but I don't know any easy - html only - way to do this... A bit of php knowledge should help, though: http://no2.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php

php is a server side scripting language so it has to be on a web server to work.
