Hi,

I have little experience with JavaScript. Few questions:
1. Is it possible to retreive data from a Mysql database using Javascript.
2. Should I use perl with HTML and Javascript to access data.

Please reply ASAP.

A database is a server installed component, you need to use a server side language, PHP and mySQL were made for eachother. I suggest going here:

PHP download Apache http server:
JavaScript is purely client side though does have server side components for Netscape servers.

JScript is a microsoft addition, and can be executed by IIS, and also gives client file system access, when executed locally. If you are using mySQL, I suggest using PHP, it is very easy to use, and learn. In order to test on your machine you need to install it on your [Apache] server. All these components are free for download.
