Web Appication without servers

Hi, I just wanna ask this:
Can we develop application web based with database BUT without any Servers.

See, I want to make an application which uses Browser to access database. But I don't want to use any servers like PHP or MysQL.

so to solve that, I'm gonna use MS Acces for the database, but I don't know what languange for process it?
using PHP is not possible because PHP needs server..

an example of the application:
MSDN -> it uses IE and Database but no Servers

So, any suggestion?
thx

Why are you not wanting to use a server?

I was inspired by Microsoft Document Explorer 2005. So I was thinking to create the same app with PHP.

Your computer/laptop/desktop can act as a server so you can run PHP on your machine that runs MS Access. Just install Tomcat or enable IIS on your computer.

But PHP Can also Process MS Access Database Under Windows . You have to use a COM

You don't have to use COM; you can use ODBC too.

Ya ODBC ofcource can do it(but first one have to configure it correctly) but there is a com(I've just forgot its name) that can also do it with more ease

you could do everything with javascript and sqlite inside XulRunner, but it might be a royal PITA
