python, javascript and mysql

[Phil Frost]

Also, if you output the table as HTML and give an element an 'id' or
'name attribute, then you can find that elemente in javascript and
examine its contents. Take a look at
<http://devedge.netscape.com//toolbox/sidebars/2001/dom2/core.xml> for
all the nifty things javascript can do with an HTML document. Also,
devedge.netscape.com has much other interesting javascript on it.
