Calender popup

Hello again! I'm currently working on a PHP/JavaScript based calendar. The main purpose of the calender is to show event(s) when a user have the mouse over a table-cell containing a certain date.

mouse over date X –> script check for events in DB for date X –> popup window with events from DB.

What is the best way to do this? JavaScript does not seem secure enough to use and using php would mean that refreshing the page is needed. what other options are there?

…what way is there? AJAX.

well I've got the data stored in a MySQL DB, I'm not using any XML files :P so how can AJAX help me with that?!

Erhm, you can call to a PHP script without refreshing?
