How can I run a JavaScript code that will take information from an SQL table and make the appropriate calculations?

My SQL table looks like the following:

ID Acct Acct_No Tax1_calc Tax2_calc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Option1 12345 0.0654 0.140
2 Option2 67890 0.0545 0.140
3 Option3 24680 0.0654 0.150


Users select the Acct from a dropdown box (pulls the ID number from the SQL table).

Users then select a Tax from a tax dropdown - which is not related to the SQL table - it's a seperate option statement in the html).

I have 3 fields that I would like populated automatically - based on the Invoice Amount that is already automatically populated. The fields appear as follows:

Invoice_Amt Tax_Selected Tax1_Amt Tax2_Amt Base_Amt

I have figured out that the If statements should be formed as :

If ID = request.getParameter("Acct") AND Tax_Selected = Tax1(from dropdown) then "Tax1_ Amt = Invoice_Amt * Tax1_Calc" AND "Tax2_Amt = 0"

If ID = request.getParameter("Acct") AND Tax_Selected = Tax2(from dropdown) then "Tax1_ Amt = Invoice_Amt * Tax2_Calc" AND "Tax1_Amt = 0"

This is as far as I can get. I am having difficulty putting these into a JavaScript statement that works. :(

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated !! :D

No, you need a server side language like PHP (http://www.php.net).
