Add links to pagle dynamically?

I currently have an ultra simple html page that contains some links to some of my favourite sites. I put the links in manually via the html source.
What I would like to do is add the links from the page itself. i.e.
Have a couple of text boxes, one for the title, one for the url and a button to add it to the list.
I click the button and it is then shown in the list on that page.
What is the easiest way to do this?
How do I do it?
Thanks for any help.

Do I have to use a "real" database for this?
Can I just read a text file for the links?
Can you provide any code examples?

You can very well use text file...

Hello jawahar_prasad,
"Which server side scripting you are using???"
None, I was hoping to be able to do this client side, obviously not possible. The pages I have are some simple html files not running under any server.
I will most likely use asp, I have most of my experience with this.
Thanks for all your help. The file handling links are a great help.

Rick.
cool. ok. thank you.
