How to fetch data from MySQL only using HTML and JavaScript

Question

I want to access MySQL database on my local machine only using HTML and JavaScript. I don't want to involve any scripting which would require a webserver. How to achieve this?

You will need server side scripting or any webservice which have manipulated mysql data... — Rayon, May 03 '15 at 10:53

You're looking for Ajax it seems

AJAX is the art of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts of a web page - without reloading the whole page.

As @Rayon implied... You will need server side scripting.

JavaScript can only do stuff on the client ( or Node.js? ). You must use a server-side scripting language like PHP to get information from a MySQL database.

You can use AJAX to pull information.

node.js has the ability to connect to mysql with the right package: on npm you can find it as mysql. – Lelio Faieta May 03 '15 at 11:14
