Del,

I don't know of a way to insert data in a database using JavaScript, 
which is prevented from writing to files on the client computer for 
security reasons and has no way to write to files on the server 
because it's running on the client.

I'd say what you want to do is submit your form to a server-side 
script (PHP etc.) that writes values to the database then redirects 
to the destination page.

Paul
