Textfield entries into an array

I would like to add the contents of a textfield to an array on the click of a button. I would also like the array to store the number of times each word has been written and display the top 10 in labels. I would then like another button to check and update the labels. I would also like this to be stored. How would I do this?

I think this addresses the first part of your question. I am not sure about the other parts though. Hope this helps!

<body>
    <div id='container'>
        <form>
            <label for="test">Values for myArray</label><br>
            <textarea name="test" rows="10" cols="30" id="test"></textarea><br>
            <input class='submit' type="button" value="Submit Value to Array">
        </form>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript" src='js/jquery.js'></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var myArray = new Array();


        $('input.submit').click(function(){
            var content = $('#test');
            var lastIndex;

            if ($.trim(content.val())){   //checking if there is something written in the field
                myArray.push(content.val());
                lastIndex = myArray.length -1;
                content.val(''); //resets the value of the textarea to nothing
                alert(myArray[lastIndex] + ' - there is ' + myArray.length + ' item(s) in the array');
            }
        });
