You technically can connect to databases from JavaScript. It is a terrible idea, but achievable. Not really sure how it would get "compiled" into JavaScript, so it is possible that is the stumbling block. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/857670/how-to-connect-to-sql-server-database-from-javascript >I would have to create the server side part separately, the user interface >separately, and hand-code the communication between the widets and the server >side. As far as I know, this is the Right way to do a web/GUI apps; you may want to read about the MVC design pattern. >I would like to use this theoretical web based framework just like pygtk or >wxPython Even in wxPython/pygtk, you should be using MVC pattern. Usually if your app is one class, you either have a trivial application or you are doing it wrong. Of course, that really applies to larger projects more than hacked together code for personal use.
