Hi, I believe you are confusing MySQL queries with JQuery; while MySQL is server side, JQuery is client side. The client should never be aware of what's going on at the server side less than it sends a request through a URL, and receives some response from it.
For security's sake, a thumb rule is to let the client know as little as possible about how data is treated and even stored in your application. A rough diagram would show the layers as such (from what the user sees to how data is stored): [UI] <--> [JQuery] <--> [DOM] <--> [WebBrowser] <--> *Internet* *Internet* <--> [WebServer] <--> [Server scripts] <--> [ScriptingEngine] <--> [Database] I would suggest that you take a look at some server frameworks, mainly made in PHP (I recommend Zend Framework), for your server side manipulations. They usually have everything set up for you to start developping your web site/application. On Nov 7, 1:30 pm, Josh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone. > > This is my first post.
