我们可以从数据库中获取值并在javascript的selectbox中显示它们吗

Question

<select name="zone"  id="zone" style="width:100px; height:22px; float:left; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;">


<?php
    $sql33="select * from tb_zone where nation='Domestic'";
    $query33=mysql_query($sql33);
    while($row33=mysql_fetch_array($query33)) {
?>

<option value="<?php echo  $row33['zone_id']; ?>"><?php echo $row33["zone_name"]; ?></option>

<?php  } ?>

</select>

Hello as above there is a simple script in PHP that is fetching values from database and displaying it. My question is can we do the same task in JavaScript. Means can we fetch values from database and display them in <select> in JavaScript?

The trick is to use AJAX to do it. If you're using jQuery read up on using $.ajax here http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
