connecting to an existing sqlite db with javascript

Question

I'm trying to build a "bookmark manager" for a browser,it should read data from an existing database on the user's machine.

I tried ST2 and it's proxy,it's explained here ,but it creates its own database,I can't get it to use an existing database.

I tried the sencha sqlite proxy ,it does the same,it's not even in their documentation so i'm stuck again.

Is there any way to do this with Sencha?

Another question is : can I do this using just Javascript or jQuerymobile ,or any other library out there?

You can't connect to an existing DB. Think of the security issues if you could.

Edit: is local-storage an option?

Is is a limitation of the Javascript language or a limitation of the existing browsers ?

thanks for the reply Jarrod, it will be a part of a browser,that's why i can't depend on any local databases (as my new browser doesn't support it) i'm also forced to use sqlite databases , changing that would be very time consuming. anyway, i gave up , i'll just create a web service,and put my database on a local server
