So is there any way I could utilize it?

So is there any way I could utilize it?

you are such a newbie!!!! lol, sorry......

All of the text you have written is HTML, I would study that first before javascript!!!!

By yourself a HTML book, it should only take 1-2 months to get a real good sense for HTML. For what you want to do you will need to read about form inputs......

Then by a book about javascript, and learn about form validation and regular expresions,

Then get a book about server sided programming and learn about databases.

I've been prograaming for a year, and I'm not at that stage, although I have been putting my energies into something different, but I will need to get round to it one day......

Anyway, if you want to understand ALL of your program/documents, then you, like the rest of us, will have to learn the slow way.

I started with HTML4 by Mike McGrath for HTML, which I still reference to a year later!!!
I also have a larger HTML refernce book, which I now find very useful.
For Javascript.......
Visual QuickStart Guide by Tom Negrino and Dori Smith, which I found very easy to understand

Server Sided script programming would depend on your server. My server only allows perl/cgi, and the book Visual Quickstart isn't as quickstart as I hoped!!! I hear that PHP is easier???

Most, if not all, programming books have an accompaning website, which will usually have online demos of the lessons. When you get stuck, then come to these sites, but try not to get us to write your programs, as we also are trying to build our website(s)

Anyway.... your quite a long way off!!!! But If you have a fun project you'll find the enthusiasm. Good luck
