Hey, I am looking to set up a free service that will allow users to sign up, insert a bit of javascript and that would link to their details in a database so they wouldnt need their own database or programming knowledge.

I have seen Javascript used for this, but i'm not sure how it works exactly. Anyone shed any light on this for me? :confused:

Thanks.

JavaScript is client-side, meaning the code is run on the client's machine, not the server; so JavaScript has no access to the server and therefore no access to a database and cannot be remotely hosted, since anyone can take the code and put it on their page and it will run fine.
