Hi there! Is there anybody who knows where I can find information on the internet about using Informix SQL statements within Javascript functions? (is it possible anyway?) I triend several things, nothing seems to work. Can't find it anywhere! Please help! Jos Olthuis

JavaScript itself is not allowed to connect to the database. This is a security feature introduced by the makers of JavaScript. The only reference to doing this that I have seen states that you require the LiveWire plug-in. This book is rather old so I imagine that another plug-in may exist by now but it needs the same functionality. (The good news is that this old book says that LiveWire supports Informix connections).

Informix supports JDBC. Go to the Informix WEB Site and select the Informix Developer's Network (IDN) from there you select the JDBC Corner. The IDN is by subscription but it is free if you have a valid Informix serial number or support contract number so just register when prompted if you do not have an IDN password already. Art S.

Thanx for replying, but I am searching for JavaScript and not Java (2 different things) I already saw the JDBC Connection, if I can't get things fixed I'll try Java instead of JavaScript.
