This will be really useful if it can be done, I have a javascript which uses ADO to query a database, thats simple, but the problem is it runs client side and needs te ODBC driver configuring on the client, not convenient if the page goes live on the web
without resorting to ASP or PHP, as we havnt quite figured out how to run them on our HTML files due to the html being generated by a dll server program(that doesnt support ODBC) is there anyway to connect to a remote ODBC driver for example on the server just using javascript?
