First rule of JavaScriptis you don't talk about JavaScript! Second rule of JavaScript is you _don't_ talk about JavaScript!
But seriously, remember that JavaScript has very, very few input/output functions that can be used outside of a browser. There really isn't a way to create a JavaScript connection object to link to MySQL or any other database package. However, there is a way to "fake" it! You can utilize JavaScript data arrays to access information that is stored on your web page. You would use a scripting language like ASP or PHP to output the array on the page and the access the array elements via JavaScript. While this raises quite a few issues (I'll leave that exercise to you), it is a way to access your database information with JavaScript. Good Luck!
