javascript/ sql db - can it be done??

[turfbult]

Hello,

I dont know if this is a VERY stupid question, but can I read/write to a SQL DB from a HTML page (NOT ASP), using JAVASCRIPT.

If it can be done, can anyone please give me an example of
1.) Connecting to the db
2.) Reading
3.) Writing

using jscript

I know how to do this using ASP.

Thanks,
T

not possible since Javascript is client side.

with IE 5 you can use the DataControl and script it to do client side DBs. i have a sample

If it is too big to post on this forum I would appreciate it if you could email it to me at [email protected].

Thanks,
T
