Hi
No, JavaScript can not connect to a database. But it can connect through HTTP to a web server, from where a CGI script able to connect to the database can send the data to the JavaScript.
To do it without reloading the common approach is to use AJAX. For specific help post in forum1600.

Don't let the name Ajax scare you... It's just javascript accessing PHP code on the server to do exactly what you want.
