Hopefully I'm in the right spot to post this thread...it includes a few areas.

Using javascript with Firefox I need to write to a SQL database. I really, really would like to use javascript -- actually, it's pretty much a requirement.
If it can't be done with javascript, how are the db read and write done so both IE and non-IE browsers are served? (Sorry this part is wondering if I should be in a different forum. )
Thank you for all the help.

Can't be done.

Even if it could, WHERE is the database???

JavaScript in the browser runs on the CLIENT machine. So you'd have to install the database on EACH AND EVERY USER machine. Surely that's just plain silly.

By using server-side technology. ASP or ASP.NET or PHP or JSP or ColdFusion or Perl or or or ....

Done on the *server* and never on the client machine in the browser. So choose the server technology you intend to use and go for it.

By the way, there is no such thing as a "SQL database." SQL is a language, used by virtually all database systems. Dare I assume you meant "SQL Server database"? (And if you do mean SQL Server, then presumably you are on a windows server, and presumably you would opt for ASP.NET or ASP as your server-side coding mechanisim, though you certainly don't have to.)

hi,
my total newbie level is quite evident!

OK, so the right place to be is in .asp.
thank you though
