Execute mySQL statement in Java?

First time poster.. love your books.. I have quite a few!!!!

Here's the question.. Is it possible to execute a mysql query within a dhtml javascript?

For instance, I have a line such as:

Code:

    $vsigoption = "<a id=\"vsigoff\" title=\"Not yet implemented\" onmouseover=\"sigson('".$thisuser."')\">Turn off user signatures.</a>";

I want to pass the username on to a Jscript that will update a field in a mysql table.

Can it be done?

It might be, but it would be a very bad idea from a security p-o-v, as then you'd be putting your user name and password onto the internet for anyone to see.

I'd strongly recommend doing this server side.
