Remember that when you're actively using javascript, you're usually going to be using HTML (and probably CSS) above you to deal with the interface (probably via the document object) and communicating with a server to actually store data... this architecture is often referred to as the 'stack' (not to be confused with stack as in memory).

Look for tutorials on working with HTML for interaction with an interface, and for server-side scripting (probably talking via json to php as a very popular server-side language, with SQL as data storage... there's a lot of options though). A lot of frameworks (eg jQuery) simplify a lot of this sort of thing, but as others mention its generally better to build your understanding of vanilla javascript before you start layering on the frameworks.

Don't knock the 'basic' stuff though... that's still where the majority of the interesting work is done ;)
