You won't be able to use client side javascript to populate data from a
database - Are you using server based javascript? I believe it exists,
but I've never seen/used it.
If I were you, I'd use PHP to create the javascript array... others
would suggest other server side languages, like Perl...
But MySQL (or any database for that matter) and javascript just won't
dance on their own...
