You could possibly use java to connect to mysql (jdbc, odbc) and then use
java to manipulate js objects on the page too. This would get tricky, but is
doable.
I would suggest you look into a server side language like PHP or Perl and
this way you have less problems across browsers and also js is incredibly
klunky, slow and prone to throw exceptions.
