    <p>Short answer: Yes, but from your post I don't think you'd find it easy.</p> <p>In some more depth, you'll need to use a server-side language such as PHP for this.</p> <p>I won't go into how to get set up with PHP, we'll assume you know that, and if you don't then you have a great excuse to go Googling :) However, here's a simple working example script for you.</p> <p>WARNING: There are a lot of pitfalls with allowing people to write to files on your server. You CERTAINLY don't want to make something like this accessible to anyone except HIGHLY trusted people. I can't over-emphasise how careful you should be with something like this unless you understand the implications of it.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // Change this to the file you want to be editing // This path is relative to this script // So if this script is in /somewhere/something/scripts/save.php // And your file is at /somewhere/something/files/hello.txt // This should read: $fname = "../files/hello.txt"; $fname = "something.txt"; // Now don't touch anything else :) // This checks if we've submitted the file if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { // Get the posted content $content = $_POST['content']; // Open the file, or exit with an error message if we can't if (!$handle = fopen($fname, 'w')) { echo "Cannot open file ($filename)"; exit; } // Write the new content into the file fwrite($fhandle, $content); fclose($fhandle); } // Get the contents of the file $content = file_get_contents($fname); ?&gt; &lt;form action="" method="post"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Editing &lt;?php echo $fname; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;textarea name="content"&gt;&lt;?php echo $content; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COYou made me realize that I didn't mention PHP is okay with me. I didn't know I could do this in PHP. As far as the security hole, when they click save it only saves to js files. Could the users possibly figure this out and save to other file types? Is that what you mean? JS is client side so I am curious on what could actually happen. I am the only one who is going to have access to this btw.

    2. COWell, for a start if I can inject JS I can go session-stealing on your site. I can include remote scripts. If you parse JS files as PHP with your Htaccess (many people do) then I can embed PHP in there as well. Giving someone write access to ANYTHING on your site is dangerous, as it can almost certainly be misused. If you give them the option of which file they want to edit, they can potentially create new files on your server, overwrite your index file, and all sorts.

    3. COOhhh, I see. Well, that is good to know. Luckily, the only thing I need to modify is values (after equal signs). So, I should be ok if I nixed the text area and loaded editable divs instead. This way I can change certain values and not let the users(me) add any custom code. Can someone possibly put dangerous code after an equals sign and have it execute?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
