I'm an ASP developer trying to understand how HTML5 gets data to display.
With ASP.NET you run server code to query a database and fill a data grid and display it.
If I'm using HTML5 how do I get data in my (SQL Server) database into a HTML5 table or grid?
Do I have to have an API on the server and read JSON data from the API or does HTML5 have functions to read directly from a SQL server database?
I have an HTML page and want to add a SQL server data table to the page. So I still need an ASP or PHP server page to supply the SQL data to the HTML page?

Thanks I understand now.

You're welcome, glad to help. Server side code with ASP or PHP is still needed to generate the HTML code from the SQL data. Even techniques like AJAX depend on a server program to deliver the data to the page.
