SQL interface to HTML

[grebo]

I am trying to figure out how to interface a SQL search into an HTML document (ie: press the button for a search of parameters X and Y.) The final solution for this is to have JavaScript create a graph that displays the results of the SQL search. I have the JavaScript, but am still new to SQL.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Since SQL is a server-side application, you need a script that will execute a function on the server. Browser-side scripting does not have permission to execute code on a server (imagine the anarchy if it could), you need a server-side scripting tool of some sort, or even server-side compiled code, such as Java Servlets.<br>

Traditionally, CGI or Perl handled the server-side scripting, but there are easier options, like ASP for IIS (free at microsoft.com), PHP for Apache (free at php.net), server-side Javascript like Netscape's Livewire (not free, I believe), or a variety of other scripting tools. The Unix world has more of these than the Microsoft world, but new ones are being created constantly.
