Because there's no mechanism that lets JavaScript talk specifically to a SQLite database. The HTML5 specification talks about SQL not specifically SQLite. Nevertheless, you may find this useful: <http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/SafariJSDatabaseGuide/UsingtheJavascriptDatabase/UsingtheJavascriptDatabase.html> In current technology with pages running from a server, accessing a SQLite database is usually done using a shim: a little program running on the server which receives an AJAX call, executes an SQLite command, then returns the result. These shims can be written in PHP or any number of other languages which can be run within a server process.
