Web Game - Saving JavaScript Variables to MySQL

I'm currently working on a Web Game and I want to store the players points and level into a MySQL database. The points are constantly going up so having it autosave using POST and GET will cause the page to refresh and points will be lost ( I think ? )

Bind ajax call on event like change of text value: For example:

<input type="text" name="id" id="btn" onchange="ajaxfunction()"/
<script>
function ajaxfunction()
{
    enter ajax code here
}
</script>

Still can't comment, anyways AJAX is outdated. Check out the new fetch method or web workers.

Or just avoid the server and use Web SQL (this will disable things like top player score, top players, basically anything that is not related to streaming multi-player gaming)
