I was under the impression that it wasnt possible. I mean being that javascript is clientside. Wouldnt it be kinda pointless? as the client would have to have he database username and password.
If it is possible Id like to know how.

You can't. Javascript runs on the client side.

just a note: in case you need this for a strict IE usage and a defined client environment (like an intranet) you may use IE's JScript/ActiveX capabilities to achieve that ... search the forum ... there are multiple answers to that question already ...

kind regards

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (see it's wiki page)
AJAX does not connect to databases. You need some serverside script that will give back results to your AJAX fuction calls.
AJAX merely fools the user into believeing that data is being retrieved from the database without the page being submitted.
