That's what Ajax is for. Call your server side code and return JSON data and
insert the data into your timeline.
Depending on your language platform, there are many Ajax framework out there,
php, java, asp.net.
Hope that helps

Hopefully not. I don't think javascript has a database interface, but
even if it did, I wouldn't advise to have the database exposed to the
internet (timeline is a javascript application that works on the user's
browser - to get data it must get it from somewhere available directly
to the user).
The way I do it is by providing a webpage which results from a query to
the database. Depending on the cases, the webpage is public or protected
with password+SSL, depending on the cases. The format is either in XML
or JSON format. Then timeline uses that data.
I hope this was of some help,
