I don't think you can query the database using javascript on the client side.

But even if you could, it might not be the best solution.

A model you could use is to only do char,num,length validation using javascript and provide combo boxes for all other things.

for example you can have various procedures that populate comboboxes eg.

title_combo('title');

You would then fill the table from a titles table.

Hope this helps
