Dashcode XML Youtube Data API help?

For the past month I have been trying to get 开发者_运维知识库my head around dashcode (i'm a web developer thats new to the Mac). I have been trying to create a simple application, I am sick of youtube's interafce and have been trying to build a application to solve my problems! All I want to know how to implement a like/dislike counter and/or like/dislike buttons into the application! Currently I have like and dislike buttons in the app and a area were i would like the like/dislike count to show (but of course none of it does anything, because of how new to dashcode I am). So how can I do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I think the Dashcode bit might be getting in the way. Dashcode sites and apps comprise of html/css/javascript so what you are actually doing is building a web site with these elements and what you need is some form of persistent storage for the "like" values.

One way of doing this is to use a database. As we are talking about client side javascript then the solution there would be to use an ajax call to an sqlite or mysql database on the server. I say sqlite as it is a single file solution without the need for install. The storage will need to be done on the server to get the running total of "likes".

See this link for some advice on javascript/sqlite/storage

Hope this helps. Please comment if not or you need any more info.
