Answer:Client side languages such as Javascript to not have access to the server to be able to store (or read) anything there. Client side languages also don't have access to any of the files on the local computer where it is being run except via the cookie interface which only gives access to data stored from pages on the same domain.
If you use a server side language to create yourweb page (such as ASP, JSP, PHP, Coldfusion) then the page will have access to read and write to files on the server. If your server has support fore databases then the page would also have access to read and write database entries. Server side languages also have access to read and write cookies on the client computer so you can store an identifier on the client's computer and store the rest of their info on the server.
