Updating the parent page and the database

[programmher]

I have a child window that updates fields on the parent page. I also need the database to be updated. I am considering performing this function in JS, also.

My question is - will my users experience any response time issues by my opening a connection from within JS?

Also, are there any additional security issues I need to consider?

well if you let the CLIENT access to your db (on SERVER !), you'll have a lot of security issues to deal with !! for sure !
can't you use a server side language ?? this would be faster, more logical, and reduce security holes ...
