example

in textbox it shows the text but it does not save in database the hello world, it is just empty.

Adlan, I am guessing you try to set the value of a text box and then try to save it. It won´t work. Lookup .setFieldValue() on the dataset doc.

Adlan, you are not the first one to run into this problem, and certainly not the last. First read this: https://www.wix.com/code/reference/$w.TextInput.html#value (the .value problem goes for EVERY Wix Input element, text is just an example).
Then, read this:wix-dataset - Velo API Reference - Wix.com
It has all the explanations and example code you need. If you are still stuck after reading and trying, let me know.
