What language can you use to query the database to get the values?

[harrydb]

I think you have to get the value from the database and print it in the "value" property of the textbox.

For example:
<form action="somefile.htm">
<%
$value = getFromDatabase("bla");
print('<input type="text" name="bla" value="$value">');
%>
.
.
</form>
This looks different depending on which language you use.

btw, I think this question belongs in Server side development, not here.
