I'm not familiar with Charter as an ISP, or what they offer. I'm
guessing they are on a consumer web hosting plan? Something to look at
might be if there's a low-tier commercial hosting plan with Charter,
that might be better than moving off to GoDaddy (which I have very
personally strong averse feelings to, so take that into account).
Also, not trying to talk you out of a job or anything like that, but
there are also things like wordpress.com and other public blogging
platforms.
A completely left-field thing now is also github pages. You can't run
PHP, but wow can you make a great backbone.js app there.
Anyway, just tossing out ideas. They're free, so you can ignore them. :)

Oh, another thing. AWS RDS (MySQL in the cloud) is possible, but it's
horribly expensive to run for a low-access site.

Yes, I agree with Paul -- how about an example?
That way we can see what you are trying to do.
You see, I use ajax all the time to send all sorts of things to the server
without refresh, but I am at a lost to figure out what you are doing.

You mean opening a new page while keeping the current page open?
Because clicking a form submit *can* open a new page as per the form's
action="" attribute.
If you want the current page to remain open while another page opens, then
you'll need a javascript routine to do it.
Cheers,
tedd

No - you meant to say "per the form's TARGET attribute"

No, I meant to say exactly what I said, namely ACTION.
The Target attribute deals with frames -- I have not done frames since 1995.
For a more in-depth Target explanation, please review:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_FORM_TARGET.html
However, I do not think that is what is being discussed here -- at least it is
not what I was talking about.
Cheers,
tedd

You're right - I didn't really understand cookies. However, with
everyone's help here, and by searching the web, I got it to work.
Thank you to Tommy, Ash, and David!
