If you mean "I want their information to be permanently available to
other visitors", so that the page just keeps on growing, then you need
to store the data somewhere. This means you need some server side
execution privileges. Many ISPs offer a guest-book facility that may do
the job. Otherwise, you will at least need to be able to add the
information to an XML table and recreate the table each time using
javascript.

If you just want the users to have access to their own data, then you
can store it in a cookie. Retrieve the cookie when they come back and
create the table from that.
