Sql queries result table column selecting javascript function

I was looking for a script which do the above. I couldn't find any. So I wrote a one. The following function takes a sql query string such as "SELECT Persons.LastName, Persons.FirstName, Orders.OrderNo FROM Persons INNER JOIN Orders ON Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id ORDER BY Persons.LastName SELECT AVG(OrderPrice) AS OrderAverage FROM Orders" and returns a string array containing LastName,FirstName,OrderNo. function brakeColumns(query) { var columnList = new Array(); var patten1 = /^[\w\$][\w]*/i; var patten2 = /^[\w\$][\w]*\.[\w\$][\w]*$/i; var numEnd = query.search(/\sfrom\s/i); var elems = (query.substring(6, numEnd)).split(","); for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) { var elem = elems[i].toString(); elem = trim(elem); var stPoint = ""; var wanted = ""; if (elem.search(/\sas\s/i) != -1) { stPoint = elem.search(/\sas\s/i); wanted = elem.substring(stPoint + 4); w

Simple way to converting html tags to display in web pages

Here is a full working example. <html> <head> <style> .codeStyle { background-color:#EAEFF1; border:1px solid #88BFCE; color:#325669; di
